Plautilla (wife of Caracalla) Æ 25mm of Sicyonia, Sicyon. AD 202-205. [ΦOYΛBIA ΠΛAYTIΛΛA], draped bust to right with cornucopiae at her left shoulder / [CIKYΩNIΩN], bridled horse walking to right, with a draped male bust (Zeus?) to right on its back. BCD Peloponnesos -; BCD Peloponnesos II -; BMC -; CNG E-254, lot 190. 5.12g, 25mm, 10h.
Near Very Fine. Extremely Rare; unpublished and only one other example on CoinArchives.
From a private English collection.
This reverse type is similar to another unpublished coin of Plautilla sold by Nomos depicting a horse walking left instead of right and with a female head on its back (Nomos AG, obolos 5, 26 June 2016, lot 678). Their proposal that these two types should be understood as a pair in commemoration of a local festival honouring Zeus and Hera is an attractive explanation for these unpublished coin types.
