CARIA. Attuda. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Assarion (Orichalcum, 21 mm, 6.61 g, 12 h), time of Trajan (?), 98-117. ΔHMOC ATTOYΔЄΩN Youthful head of Demos to right. Rev. ΔIA MЄNIΠΠOY Horseman to right, holding double-axe over his left shoulder. Martin, Attouda 3. RPC II 1229. Rare. Somewhat smoothed, otherwise, about extremely fine.
The preposition ΔIA tells us that Menippos was in charge of the coin production of Attuda. It is a rare formulation that was used in very few cities only, mostly in Caria (for another example, see below, lot 169).
