Phrygia, Laodicea ad Lycum. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Mid 1st century A.D. Æ (23 mm, 11.37 g, 12 h). Ca. A.D. 62. Julius Andronicus, euergetes, with (perhaps) Julia Zenonis. [ΛAO]ΔIKЄΩN [Δ]HMOΣ, laureate head of Demos right / ΙΟΥΛΙΟΣ ΑΝΔΡΟΝΙΚΟ[Σ] ΕΥΕΡ-ΓΕΤΗ[Σ], Zeus Leodikeos standing facing, head left, holding holding eagle and leaning on staff. RPC 2921 corr. (legend); SNG von Aulock 3812; BMC 11-2. Dark green patina with light earthen deposits. Very fine.

Julia Zenonis came from the most important family of Asia Minor at this time, and her name appears on certain coins from Laodicea struck during the reign of Nero. Although she is not named on this coin, RPC associates her with the priest, Julius Andronicus, whose name does appear here.
