Cilicia, Aegeae. AE 31, 22.70g. (12h). Cilicia, Aegeae, Year 90 = 43/4 AD. Obv: Bust of Isis right, wearing calathus. At right, cornucopia containing an aphlaston. Border of dots. Rx: ΑΙΓΕΑΙΩΝ. Athena Promachos advancing left, holding spear and shield. In left field, ΑΘΑ above date [Q]. RPC I 4039, pl. 152 = SNG Levante 1696 (same obverse die). EF.

Ex Randy Haviland Collection. Ex Gemini IX, 9 January 2012, lot 149.

Apparently the second recorded specimen. Since Aegeae was a base of the Roman Imperial navy, the Isis on this coin might be Isis Euploia, the goddess popular among sailors.
