MYSIA, Pergamum. Commodus. AD 177-192. Æ Medallion (42.5mm, 49.20 g, 6h). Homonoia with Ephesus. P. Aelius Pius, strategus. Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Pergamus (or the Demos), holding statue of Asclepius and scepter, standing right, vis-à-vis Androclus (or Ephesus), holding statue of Artemis Ephesia and scepter, standing left. RPC IV.2 11336/10 (this coin cited and illustrated); Franke & Nollé Type XIV, 1566 corr. (VI/R29–unlisted die combination); Kampmann, Homonoia 29 (V11/R29); SNG BN 2185 var. (obv. legend and bust type; same reverse die). Dark green and brown patina, some light porosity, some minor smoothing. VF. Very rare type, and this particular obverse variety is extremely rare. The authors of RPC cite only two specimens, this coin and the Berlin coin. Kampmann and Franke & Nollé both cite only the Berlin example. (Cataloguer’s note: The listing for this coin on the RPC Online website states: “both sides with traces of tooling.” I do not see any signs of tooling, just the aforementioned minor smoothing.).
