Sulla brought her to Rome where she was identified with Bellona. But a female deity is never depicted nude and therefore it can't be Ma! Xanthos (BC 167-81) Drachm673 viewsca 100-50 BC.

(BC 500-300) Lead weight - hemihekte672 viewsca 500 BC. Hemihekte lead weight (1.31g, 13.3x8.6mm). Head of Silenos facing / Incuse scallop shell. gVF. Carr coll. This lead piece appears to be a coin weight for an electrum hemihekte of Phocaic standard. The facing head of Silenos types are commonly found on coins from Sicily, Macedonia, Lesbos, Mysia and Ionia. The scallop shell, while a common type for Italy and Sicily, was used as a control symbol across the Greek world. The weight is appropriate for an electrum hemihekte of standard and type struck in Asia Minor. This appears to be the first recorded specimen, but is consistent with those anticipated by Lang and Crosby, “The Athenian Agora - Volume X: Weights, Measures and Tokens” (1964).

ΔOMITI ΛOYKIΛΛAN NEIKAIEIC, draped bust of Domitia right, hair coiled on top of head / M AVPHΛIOC OVHPOC KAICAP, Aurelius on horseback right, holding couched lance in right hand. VF, tan patina, corroded. Extremely rare, one of two known, the other in the BN. The specimen of this coin in Paris has been known since 1863, being the subject of some debate concerning its authenticity. This second specimen is from the same dies and seems to confirm the reading in Cohen. Domitia's husband, Annius Verus died shortly after the birth of their son in 121 AD, but her family wealth and close connections to the imperial court insured that the youth came to the attention of the emperor Hadrian, who in 138 AD advised Antoninus Pius to adopt him. This coin was probably struck shortly after the accession of Antoninius Pius, and marks the noble family lineage of the new heir apparent of the Roman empire. Nikaia (AD 138-161) AE 29 - Antoninus Pius671 viewsAntoninus Pius, 138-161 AD. AE29 (12.73g, 6h).

Turreted head of Tyche right / Sandan standing left on horned and winged animal standing right within pyramidal monument on garlanded base and surmounted by an eagle.

The reverse type is unkown at Priapos, however, it closely resembles the great altar of Parium present on the reverse of coins that city (cf., e.g., BMC Mysia pg. 97, 40). Thus, it is possible that this coin commemorates an alliance between the two cities. Laranda (BC 324-323) Obol670 viewsca 324/3 BC. AR Obol (0.67g, 11mm, 1h).
