Watch List notes:

SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria. Antiochia on the Orontes. Late 2nd-1st centuries BC. Weight of 1 Mina (Lead, 108x108 mm, 665.00 g). ETOYΣ Σ[.] / ΔHMOΣIA - MN-A Single cornucopiae between palm fronds on the left and on the right. Rev. Latticework design. Apparently unpublished and very unusual. Good fine.


Weights from Antiochia usually carry double cornucopiae, which makes this piece quite unusual. Unfortunately, the date is not fully legible: Σ = SE 200 is reasonably clear, but the letter that follows is indiscernible. In any case, the date places the weight after 113/2 BC (= SE 200).
