Ancient coin ID #5

5 berichten
Your coin is a Roman provincial from Ephesus in Ionia. The reverse inscription EΦECIΩN is the city name in the Greek genitive plural meaning "[coin] of the Ephesians". The image is of two children seated below the famous Ephesian cult statue of Artemis. The obverse inscription is very worn but wildwinds.com lists a similar coin for Geta (Caesar AD 198-209, Augustus AD 209-212). If the coin is indeed of Geta, the two children may represent Geta and his brother Caracalla.
Thank you very much for identifying this coin! Can you find it in the numista catalogue, I tried but didn't find this coin.
First you will need to determine the ruler. A quick check at CNG reveals that this type was issued under a number of emperors, not just Geta. Without a legible name, that's easier said than done.
