Note.

The temple depicted is that of Roma and Augustus erected by the koinon of Bithynia at Nicomedia, of which no archaeological remains have been discovered.

Cistophori were produced in the name of the Commune Bithyniae only once, under Hadrian. The inscription on the frieze, reconstructed as ROM(ae) S(enatui) P(opulo) AVG(usto) and translated as "To Rome, the Senate, the People, and Augustus" tentatively identifies the building as a temple of Rome and Augustus at Nicomedia. No archaeological remains of this structure have as yet been found, and reconstructions of it are based entirely on the second century numismatic evidence. Both Tacitus and Dio Cassius report that in 19 BC Augustus did authorize the construction of a temple to Rome and himself at Pergamum, an event commemorated on his cistophori there. No such evidence for a temple at Nicomedia occurs earlier than this cistophorus.

Lesbos_Messa01.JPG
Greece, Lesbos, Messa: The pan-Lesbian sanctuary of Messa, Lesbos (probably of Aphrodite).The pan-Lesbian sanctuary of Messon, at the center of the island, was established in early historic times and served as the seat of the Lesbian Koinon (Commonwealth). The temple had eight columns on the short sides and 14 on the long sides. Most of the temple was built of white volcanic rock. Marble was selectively used for the decorative elements. The cella walls were made of reddish volcanic rock. The temple was probably destroyed by an earthquake in the 3rd or 4th century A.D. Seven kilns from that period were found in the area. Architectural members of the temple were used to build the kilns, which were then probably used to burn other parts of the temple for lime production.

This coin actually has very nice, dark brown patina, however, I had to lighten the image to bring out the details. I haven't been able to attribute this further as all of the similar reverses I've seen show a club above the lion.

AR denar (average .46 g., 11-12.5 mm.), .50 g., 11.70 mm. max., 90°

Obv: + CALMAN RE, King's head facing.

Rev: LADLAVS RE (decaying legend), cross without wedges.

Struck in Esztergom. Struck ca. 1105 (per Gyöngyössy, whose dating has not been accepted by later catalogers and appears to be speculative). Hóman hypothesized that the chronology of Coloman’s coinage can be determined via the progressively diminishing average weights of the emissions. By this hypothesis, this emission is ranked 5/15, and was struck toward the middle of Coloman’s reign.

Huszár rarity 10, Toth-Kiss rarity 25, Unger rarity 50, Frynas rarity N. This coin is an unrecorded "very rare" variety in which there are no wedges between the arms of the cross on the reverse, as confirmed by József Géza Kiss via personal email communication on December 14, 2018. The coin is described in Koinon II (2019), p. 210.

Ladislaus/László I (1077-1095) was canonized in 1192. His name typically appeared, albeit in an increasingly decaying form, on the reverse of 12th century emissions such as this.

Koinion of Macedonia - Alexander and BucephalusSimilar to the example provided in a discussion on the portraiture of Alexander on coinage at:
http://rg.ancients.info/alexander/portrait.html
That is described as:
"Koinon of Macedonia bronze (AE-26) from Beroea, Macedonia, c. 222-235 AD, Sear Greek Imperial 4808v."
Although in this version, Alexander seems to be charging forward with a raised hand or sword. It is Koinion of Macedonia, it is Alexander and it is Bucephalus, but I don't know the precise mint nor year. Let's call it 3rd century.
