MOESIA, Kallatis. Late 2nd-3rd centuries AD. Æ (15.5mm, 2.30 g, 12h). Helmeted and armored bust of Athena right / Shield over stalks of three grain ears; club to left, bow-in-bowcase to right. AMNG I 271; SNG München 246. VF, dark green surfaces.
AMNG and SNG München dated this issue to the 1st or 2nd centuries AD, but the autonomous issues of Kallatis detailed in RPC Supplement 3 does not include it. Moreover, the style and fabric of these coins is more consistent with issue of the late 2nd-mid 3rd cenutry.
