Bare head right / ΘEON AYTOKP A [TOPA], capricorn right, holding globe, bearing cornucopia on back. VF, black-green patina. Ex Villemur Coll.; ex Freeman & Sear 3 (12/1996), lot 724 . While Grant in Essays Mattingly posited a mint in Cilicia for this coin’s origin, his hypothesis is far from conclusive. The similarity between this coin and RPC 5448 suggests they are part of the same issue, possibly struck shortly after the accession of Tiberius to the throne and the deification of Augustus, as evidenced by the legend, ΘEON AYTOKP A [TOPA].

A logical guess for the place of minting would be Caesarea, the principal mint in the region, where similar coins carrying this legend were struck under Titus. The authors of RPC reject this attribution, however, based on the absence of a date and the metal composition. Uncertain (AD 76) Denarius - Domitian328 viewsDomitian, as Caesar, struck 76 AD.
