LYDIA, Philadelphia (as Neocaesarea). Tiberius. AD 14-37. Æ (15mm, 2.94 g, 11h). Bare head right / Thunderbolt. Kurth 150 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration); LS 24 (under Tiberius Gemellus); RPC I 3017; Vagi 480 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration). Black patina, minor roughness. Near VF.
From the Conti Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group 81 (20 May 2009), lot 784.
Previously attributed to Tiberius Gemellus, a note in RPC online confirms the attribution to the emperor Tiberius based on the existence of a couple of high grade specimens; "Coin /14 removes any doubt about the attribution to Tiberius. See J. Clark, 'The renaming of Philadelphia Neocaesarea under the emperor Tiberius', NC 180 (2020), pp. 127-31, for a die study and confirmation of the attribution to Tiberius. The reading is clear on the rare die."
