Lydia, Philadelphia Æ20. Pseudo-autonomous issue, circa AD 138-192(?). ΔHMOC, laureate head of Demos right / [ΦIΛ]AΔЄΛΦЄΩN, the river-god Kogamis reclining left, resting on water urn; KOΓAMIC in exergue. Unpublished in the standard references. 5.02, 20mm, 12h.
Good Fine. Extremely Rare; apparently the first recorded example.
From the collection of an antiquarian, Bavaria c. 1960s-1990s.
This seemingly unpublished issue may have been struck during the reigns of the Antonines, before the city was granted a neocorate at the beginning of the third century - an honour frequently boasted on the city's coinage thereafter. The reverse type celebrates the river by which the city was situated, the Cogamus.
