Tralleis (BC 27-AD 14) AE 20 - Augustus & Caius Caesar459 viewsAugustus, with Caius Caesar, 27 BC-14 AD. AE20 (5.71g, 12h). Struck circa 2 BC. KAIΣA-PEΩN, bare head of Augustus right / ΓAIOΣ [KAIΣAP], bare head of Caius right. Near VF, dark greenish-brown patina. Extremely rare and apparently unrecorded.

RPC 2646 (itself apparently unique) is different in several respects: both obverse and reverse legends run in opposite directions, with the ethnic being completely behind the bust of Augustus, there is no star on the reverse, and the bust of Caius is enclosed within a wreath. The reverse of the current coin is of the same design as that of the obverses of 2649 and 2650, dated to ca 2 BC, and provides a link between RPC 2646, dated very tentatively to ca 10-5 BC, and the supposed later types. All are very likely from the same issue, which is probably no earlier than 2 BC.

VF, black-green patina with traces of olive and red, a few adjustment marks. Fine style portraits. Apparently the second known and possibly the only one not in a public collection. Group CEM.

The specimen Imhoof-Blumer cited was from his own collection. Because of the coin’s rarity, it was probably donated to the Berlin Münzkabinett, as it does not appear in the known sales of Imhoof-Blumer’s coins. The Berlin collection, however, remains unpublished, so there is no way of determining that coin’s further disposition.

Given the weight of this specimen, it seems much more likely that the type was actually a triobol rather than a diobol, with the weight of the obol appearing to be ~0.5g, and the weight of the drachm to be ~3.0g.
