ID:     81154      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Roman Provincial Region:     LYDIA City:     Philadelphia Issuer:     Tiberius Gemellus Date Ruled:     Caesar 35 - 37 A.D. Metal:     Bronze Denomination:     AE16 Struck / Cast:     struck Diameter:     15.9 mm Weight:     4.609 g Obverse Legend:     TIBERION CEBACTON? Obverse Description:     Bare head right Reverse Legend:     NEO KEC-APEIC Reverse Description:     Winged fulmen Mint:     Philadelphia Primary Reference:     RPC I 3017 Reference2:     SNG Cop 373 Photograph Credit:     FORUM ANCIENT COINS Source:     http://www.forumancientcoins.com/catalog/roman-and-greek-coins.asp?zpg=17949 Notes:     RPC notes all examples of this type were struck with a single obverse die. The obverse right side legend is illegible on all known examples. RPC attributes this type as uncertain but likely Gemellus' uncle the emperor Tiberius. Vagi attributes it as certainly Tiberius Gemmellus. Forum sees a very strong resemblance between the portrait on this coin and busts of Gemellus and agrees with Vagi. Very Rare.
