P SEPTI GETAS C, bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust right / CIF SINOP AN N CCLII, Geta on horseback right, holding spear pointed at bound captive seated on ground below. VF, brown surfaces, a little rough. Apparently unpublished. Wagner Coll. This coin proves that Geta joined his father and elder brother in the rather prolific coinage issues of Sinope’s civic years 252 and 253. The reverse type is something of a mystery. The bound captive is wearing a crested Phrygian style helmet and must represent an eastern foe. Yet Severus’ Persian campaigns had wrapped up around AD 199, and the last coinage issues commemorating the wars appeared around 202-203. There followed several years of relative peace, only broken in 208 by the plans to expand the conquest of Britain. There seems to be no event that can be tied to this militant type. Sinope (AD 209-212) AE - Geta705 viewsGeta, 209-212 AD. AE (14.04g), struck 210 AD. Head right / Bust of Serapis right. Dark brown patina, VF.

IMP VALER[IANVS ...], laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / [C I F S ANN] CCXXV[IIII], bearded facing archaic head of Dionysos, wearing cap. Extremely rare. Corrosion pits, aVF. The late bronzes of Sinope are almost always poorly produced and of crude style, thus making them hard to read. On this coin, the date starts with CCXX, followed by what might be a V, and a possible additional IIII on the left side of Dionysos' beard. The fact that the coin was struck from the same obverse die as SNG Paris 661 with a clear (though retrograde) date of XXVIIII, supports this reading.
