Knidos, Caria, c. 100 - 40 B.C.
|Knidos|, |Knidos,| |Caria,| |c.| |100| |-| |40| |B.C.|, Based on only the single worn example known to the authors, RPC I attributed this type to Livia from an uncertain mint. Based on the Mabbott coin with a clear poppy on the obverse and ethnic on the reverse, the RPC I Supplement corrected the attribution to Demeter and Knidos. All examples of this type are very rare. This type struck by the magistrate ΜOΣXΩN is apparently unpublished and only two examples are known to Forum.

The obverse bust resembles the marble "Demeter of Knidos" statue, now in the British Museum.
