ex Edward J. Waddell, Ltd. (inv. no. 10367).

The city of Sagalassus claimed a Spartan origin and direct descendance from the Dioscuri. During recent excavations at the Agora of Sagalassus, stelle with an inscription naming Lakedaimon as founder as well as the remains of the statue depicted on this coin have been found. This same scene can be found on the coins of other emperors at this city but this is the first such appearance for Claudius II.
