Description

SYRIA, Seleucis and Pieria. Antioch. Pseudo-autonomous issue. Æ Tetrachalkon. Laureate head of Zeus right; c/m: Cleopatra bust, right within oval incuse / Zeus Nicephorus seated left. Repatinated. 23 mm, 11.00 g. Notes from McAlee, The Coins of Roman Antioch (p. 74, note 25): “The coins of this year (Pompeian Era 19 = 48/7 BC) and year 3 of the Caesarean era are frequently seen with a countermark on the obverse which was previously described as “head of Apollo r.” in an oval...it now seems likely that the countermark portrays Cleopatra, and was used to mark coins circulating in the Syro-Phoenician territories which were given to her by Mark Antony.”
