THESSALY, Koinon of Thessaly. Tiberius. As Caesar, AD 4-14. Æ Trihemiassarion (21mm, 8.37 g, 6h). Megalokles, strategos. Bare head of Tiberius right / Laureate head of Apollo right; before, ΜΕΓAΛOK followed by monogram. Burrer Em. 2, Series 3, 108 corr. (A23/R87 – incorrect form of monogram, Apollo wearing laurel wreath, not band); RPC I 1429 (same dies as illustration); BCD Thessaly II 918 (same dies); BCD Thessaly I 1399 (same dies). Near VF, green patina, light roughness. Rare.
From the BCD Collection.
A note from BCD from the Triton sale: The resolution of the monogram at the end of the reverse legend is debatable. RPC prefers that it is the remainder of Megalokles' name, while ASW (in Nomos' BCD Thessaly sale) suggests it may be the name of the magistrate Arist..., who appears on other series in this emission.
