Watch List notes:

CYCLADES, Naxos. Naxos. Geta, as Caesar, 198-209. Assarion (Bronze, 16 mm, 2.56 g, 6 h). Λ CE - Π ΓETAC Bare head of Geta to right. Rev. ΝΑΞΙ - ΩΝ Wine krater. Mionnet Suppl. IV, p. 397, 241. Very rare. Green patina. Very fine.


Roman provincial coins from the Cyclades are uniformly very uncommon: issued to serve the population of the islands they seldom left them; and since they seldom left their islands of issue they tended to circulate so intensely that surviving examples are seldom, if ever, in good condition.
