Tetradrachm to Identify [Risolto]

Pubblicazioni di 4 • visto 90 volte

Hi everyone,

 

I would need help identifying this coin. I cannot find it anywhere on Numista.


The person who sold it told me this: 

Otacilia Severa

244-249 AD

Billon

Tetradrachm

Antioch Mint

 

That above information may be correct, or not, in either case if someone can help me identify this coin I would appreciate.

Would it require a new Numista listing?
 

Almost there.

 

I was struggling with Otacilia Severa coins, the reverse is matching (ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞΟΥϹΙΑϹ) but the lettering on the obverse not.

Then I changed my search filters on RPC to look for Antioch coins with the same reverse on other rulers and just got Herennia Etruscilla.

 

Whoever made the previous ID was on the right track but missed by a little.

 

 

Got the ID:

Herennia Etruscilla

249-251 AD

Tetradrachm

Antioch, Syria

Obv: ΕΡΕΝΝΙΑ ΕΤΡΟΥϹΚΙΛΛΑ ϹΕΒ; diademed and draped bust of Etruscilla, right, on crescent

(officina mark is a number of dots below the bust, yours I see two but there could be more)

Rev: ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞΟΥϹΙΑϹ, S C; eagle standing on palm, right, spreading wings, holding wreath in beak

 

There are various RPC IX entries for this type, both for eagle to left and right. Got 22 of them on the search results:

https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/search/browse?volume_id=&number=&city_id=25®ion_id=&province_id=&subprovince_id=&reign_id=&person_id%5B%5D=50&obverse_inscription_simplified=&reverse_inscription_simplified=%CE%94%CE%97%CE%9C%CE%91%CE%A1%CE%A7+%CE%95%CE%9E%CE%9F%CE%A5%CF%B9%CE%99%CE%91%CF%B9&obverse_design=&reverse_design=&metal_id=&weight_min=&weight_max=&diameter_min=&diameter_max=&format=

 

 

 

Anyway, it is not on our catalog.

 

And I think we must create two pages, one for eagle to left on reverse and another for eagle to right.

On the Antioch catalog there are two Trajan Decius tetradrachms with these eagles (one for each orientation), we could use them as basis.

Coin is here you can add infos thanks

N#440696

Many thanks to both of you for your help identifying the coin and for your help posting the coin.
