LYDIA, Philadelphia (as Neocaesarea). Tiberius Gemellus(?). Caesar, AD 35-37. Æ (15mm, 2.88 g, 12h). Bare head right / Thunderbolt. LS 24 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration); RPC I 3017/1 (under Tiberius; same obv. die as illustration); Vagi 480 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration). Fine, dark green to black patina with lighter green highlights/deposits, some cleaning marks. Rare.
The attribution of this coin is complicated by the celator's recutting of the single obverse die used to strike this issue. While it is possible that the letter traces could read CEBACTON, the authors of RPC note that this reading, as well as the identification with Tiberius Gemellus, is uncertain.
