ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΚΑΙCΑΡ ΔΟΜΙΤΙΑΝΟC, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / ΕΠΙ ΦΛ ΠΡΑΞΕΟΥ ΑΡΞ ΠΡ ΙΕΡΕΩC, ΦIΛAΔEΛΦEΩN, turreted goddess (Mother Anaitis) seated left; lion to left; forepart of deer (?) above. Dark brown patina with earthen highlights.

An issue struck under the magistrate and high priest, Flavios Praxeas, who held his office for life. This coin is curious, as it is struck in brass, thus supposing it to have been intended as a coin of higher value than recorded. Also, forepart of a deer on the reverse (unrecorded variety).

Philadelphia (AD 161-180) AE 26366 viewsTime of Marcus Aurelius, 161-180 AD. AE26 (8.39g, 6h). Draped bust of the Senate right / Twin spiral columns surmounted by an arch, within which stands Aphrodite, nude, covering herself with her hands. Extremely Rare. Good Very Fine.

The reverse of this extremely rare and superbly preserved coin depicts a Hellenistic or Roman statue of Aphrodite of the ‘Venus Pudica’ type, a style born from the masterwork of the sculptor Praxiteles - the renowned Aphrodite of Knidos, which was the first life sized representation of the nude female form. Such was its beauty and fame in antiquity that it was extensively copied; though the positions of Venus’ hands sometimes changed (in this case the left hand) the basic form remained unchanged. Praxiteles’ original did not survive; it may have been removed to Constantinople and destroyed during the Nika riots.
