Al Kowsky Posted August 11 · Member Share Posted August 11 (edited) It looks like the "City Goddess" was a popular theme for Antoninus Pius coinage, so I'll add another to this post ☺️. I scored this scarce Gaza bronze about a year ago at CNG Triton XXVII. JUDAEA, Gaza. Antoninus Pius, AD 138-161 (Dated CY 215, AD 154/5). AE: 30.5 mm, 20.23 gm, 12 h. Obverse: Laureate, draped & cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius seen from behind. Reverse: Turreted, draped, & veiled bust of Tyche, sign of Marnas (mintmark) in front of bust. RPC IV; Rosenberger 75, Sofaer 94. Ex Kenneth Abramowitz Collection. Edited August 11 by Al Kowsky spelling correction 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
