Phokis, Elateia. Late 4th-mid 3rd centuries BC. Æ12Obv: Head of bull facing, fillets hanging from horns.
Rev: ΦΩ within wreath.
BCD Lokris 472.16; HGC 4, – (but cf. 1110 [Federal Coinage]).
HGC 4 omits this issue from Elateia, perhaps presuming that it was part of the main coinage produced in the Federal series (HGC 1110), since it lacks the city ethnic. However, the style of the obverse of these that BCD placed at Elateia is significantly different from the Federal coins. On the other hand, the style is identical to the obverses of the larger denomination at Elateia (BCD 417.1–4) with which BCD associated these small coins.ancientoneSep 14, 2023

Uncertain, Uncertain. Augustus Æ20. 26 BC.Obv: IMP CAESAR DIVI F AVGVSTVS COS VIII / bare head of Augustus, r.
Rev: T VOMAN M MEMM FLAM QVINQ ITER / two goddesses with kalathos seated facing, holding patera(?).
RPC I, 5413
Magistrates: Marcus Memmius Flaminius (duovir quinquennalis for the second time) ; Titus Vomanius (duovir quinquennalis for the second time).
RPC note: 5412-4 struck in three denominations, has raised problems of interpretation and mint. Only 5413 and 5414 have been published before; series 5412 is unpublished. [..., see RPC I, p. 716 for full comment]. This attribution [to Heraclea] is no longer possible, now that we know that the issue was struck in 26 BC. But the problem remains insoluble: the issue was struck by a colony that had existed at least ten years in 26 BC and had been founded during the Triumvirate. All the new specimens that have turned up recently are from Turkey, though unfortunately without an exact provenance; Cilicia seems to be the only area that can be ruled out (according to E. Levante). The humped bull on 5412 might suggest that it was struck in southeastern Anatolia, and the same goes for the twin goddesses on series 5413, where the closest parallel is indeed Comama or, slightly less likely, Aspendos (see L. Robert, Hellenica XI-XII (1960), pp. 176–88). The colonies of Antioch, Olbasa, Comama, Cremna, Parlais or Lystra are among the possibilities, except that they are all thought to have been founded by Augustus. This issue would therefore indicate that one of them was in fact founded earlier or that there was another colony, hitherto unknown.ancientoneSep 04, 2023

CariaAs part of the Roman Empire the name of Caria was still used for the geographic region but the territory administratively belonged to the province of Asia. During the administrative reforms of the 4th century this province was abolished and divided into smaller units. Caria became a separate province as part of the Diocese of Asia.
