CARIA, Stratonicaea. Caracalla & Geta. AD 209-211. Æ (34mm, 20.88 g, 6h). Confronted busts of Caracalla right and [Geta] left, both laureate, draped, and cuirassed; c/m: ΘЄOY within rectangular incuse / ЄΠI ΠP IOV[...], Hekate standing left, holding patera over altar and torch. SNG Keckman –; SNG von Aulock –; SNG Copenhagen –; Karl 311 (same dies); for c/m: Howgego 536. VF, brown surfaces.


The prytanis is uncertain. The Karl catalog gives it to Tynchanontos son of Philonos, as von Aulock 2687, but the legend on our coin suggests it belongs to the magistrate with the perplexing signature IOVΛIA ΔOMNO IEPOKΛEOYC (see BMC 70 and lot XXX above).
