Macedon, Amphipolis Æ 21mm. Pseudo-autonomous issue, second half of the 1st century AD. [KAI]CAP CEB[A]CTOC, Roma standing facing, head to left, holding sceptre and parazonium / [AMΦΙΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ], Artemis Tauropolos, holding billowing veil, astride bull advancing to right. RPC III 657a; AMNG III 70; SNG Copenhagen 93; SNG ANS 158. 6.90g, 21mm, 12h.
Near Very Fine. Very Rare.
Purchased from Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH & Co. KG, March 2008.
Traditionally ascribed to Augustus, the present type was excluded from RPC I on account of the fabric, style and letter forms being considered from a somewhat later period, perhaps of Hadrian (cf. RPC I p. 305). However, the editors of RPC III also didn't include the type, dating it to the Flavian period (cf. RPC III p.81). After further reassessment it has been added to RPC III post-publication, grouped with types of a similar style (cf. RPC III 652 & 654).
