Quintus Quintianus, is incorrect. It should be ΕΠΙ Π ΑΙΛ ΕΡΜΑΦΙΛΟΥ APXONTOC. One interpretation is that this is possibly EPI (under) P. Ailius Ermafilus (or Hermafilus) Archon. Checking Münsterberg on this finds: ἄρχων Olbia 18 und Tabae 121 (frühe Kaiserzeit). Augustus: Hierapolis 165. Claudius: Cotiaeum 161. Nero: Synaos 171. Alexander ἐπὶ Π Αἰλ Ἑρμαφίλου ἄρχοντος αʹ Br. M. 171. but this doesn't spell out the abbreviations. The correct attribution should be: Severus Alexander. 222-235 A.D.; Æ 30, and of medallic style. Kotiaeon/Cotiaeum, Phrygia. Obv: M AVP CΕVΗ ΑΛΕΧΑΝΔΡΟ-C AVΓ. His bust left with imperial mantle, holding scepter in l. hand, which slants over his left shoulder, and raising right hand (in greeting?). Rev: ΕΠΙ Π ΑΙΛΕΡΜΑΦΙΛΟΥ APXONTOC; "A" in upper center field; in exergue: KOTIAEΩ(N). Asklepios standing facing, head toward Hygieia. A small Telesphoros between them; the "N" from the exergue over his head. SNG Tubingen 4111. Tubingen states "Unpublizierte Variante?" - Unpublished Variant? This, then, is probably the second known example of this coin. BMC__; von Aulock_.; Mionnet__; SNG Cop__. aEF; much superior to the Tubingen example.
