Dyrrhachion, Illyria, Greece, Roman Protectorate, c. 229 - 30 B.C.
|Illyria|, |Dyrrhachion,| |Illyria,| |Greece,| |Roman| |Protectorate,| |c.| |229| |-| |30| |B.C.|, Apparently unpublished. While the combination of these two magistrates is published, we did not find another example of this variety with a veiled Hera and owl on the obverse. Most similar specimens are described as depicting Isis above and grapes in the exergue, though some are so poorly struck that that they could be this variety. The veiled goddess on this coin is certainly not Isis. From Coin Archives, we know of one other likely specimen of this variety but the owl is entirely off flan.
