Isinda (AD 249-251) AE 40 - Trajan Decius

Trajan Decius, 249-251 AD. AE40 (25.37 g, 4h). Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Decius right / Bareheaded and draped bust of Demos right, stroking his beard with his fingers. Fine, rough brown surfaces, flan split at edge. Very rare, only one specimen cited in von Aulock. Ex Frederick Coll.

Hecht (p. 33) notes: “The bald and bearded philosopher portrait used for the Demos of Isinda was probably inspired by the portrait of Aratos on the imperial coins of not too distant Pompeiopolis.”
