MESOPOTAMIA, Hatra(?). Augustus(?). 27 BC-AD 14. Æ 26mm (6.22 g). Contemporary imitation. Bare head right / Legend in wreath. Cf. Slocum, Hatra 1-3. VF, green patina, smoothed.

This unusual imitation has some characteristics related to the imitations struck at Hatra with the sun god Shamesh, but it seems somewhat earlier than the published types.
