SELEUCIS AND PIERIA
Antioch. Pseudo-imperial issue, Time of Augustus, 27 BC-AD 14. Chalkous (Bronze, 14.5 mm, 1.83 g), year ςK (26) = 6/5 BC. ΧΑΛΚΟΥΣ around central pellet. Rev. ET ςK Anchor. BMC 62 (Agrippa II). Hunter p. 224, no. 9. McAlee -. RPC 5406 (region and mint identified as uncertain). Extremely rare with just four specimens documented in the RPC. Sharply struck and with a lovely green patina and earthen highlights. Extremely fine.
The online version of RPC I includes the note that Howgego (GIC 58, no. 32) proposed a re-attribution to Antioch based on the legend ×ÁËÊÏÕÓ which occurs on Neronian issues there (RPC 4302), and the authors - although leaving the coin under an uncertain province and city - note the plausibility of this attribution.
