Pergamon, Mysia, Plautius Silvanus, Roman Proconsul of Asia under Augustus, 4 - 5 A.D.
|Pergamon|, |Pergamon,| |Mysia,| |Plautius| |Silvanus,| |Roman| |Proconsul| |of| |Asia| |under| |Augustus,| |4| |-| |5| |A.D.|, M. Plautius Silvanus was Proconsul of Asia from 4 to 5 A.D. He was consul in the 2 A.D. and belonged to the inner circle of Augustus. The meaning of the very unusual obverse remains an unanswered question. Eastern denominations are not fully understood, but this brass coin may have been equal to the Roman as or 1/3 of a dupondius.

The adjustment marks visible in the fields probably indicate that this flan was cut from a round bar, not cast. These marks are found on some other examples of the type.
