Pedigree:
ex Münzen-Ritter
Tripod and Dolphin are attributes of Apollo, probably Apollo Delphinios. And probably a temple for the Dioscuri, guardians of the sailors, has stood in Olbia too, as many finds of votive offerings are pointing out.

hand reed; above in l. field a chest
in l. field KAICA / RE / WN ( in 3 lines)
BMC 63; SNG München 24, 296; SNG München 29, 294
The obv. is found on SNG von Aulock 3742 too (from www.aeqvitas.com).
Rare, F
added to www.wildwinds.com
The chest is the symbol of Kibyra. Because KIBWTON (greek for wooden case, chest) was used in the NT for Noah's Ark it was suggested that Kibyra was the place where Noah has landed after the Flood. Therefore it became a place of pilgrimage. Jochen

Syria, Seleukia and Pieria, Nikopolis Seleukidis, Severus Alexander, BMC 227 viewsSeverus Alexander, AD 222-235
AE 33, 18.01g
obv. AVT KM AVR CEV - ALEZANDROC CEB
Bust, draped and cuirassed, laureate, r.
under the chin c/m: Nike advancing l. (Howgego 263)
rev. NEIKOPOLEITWN - CELEVK[IDOC]
Distyle arched shrine, within statue of Nemesis, wearing long garment and veiled, stg. facing, r. hand at her chin, l. hand at her lap; at her feet r. a griffon, stg. l.
in ex. wreath(?)
BMC 2; Butcher 12; Sear GICV 3369
very rare, die flaw on lower l. field of rev., otherwise VF
The griffon originally was an oriental mythical creature, but invaded the Greek mythology and became the companion of several Greek deities, f.e. Dionysos or Artemis. In Roman times the griffon joined Nemesis too, here as vengeful nuisance.
