CILICIA, Irenopolis-Neronias. Trajan. AD 98-117. Æ (24mm, 8.40 g, 12h). Dated CY 47 (AD 98/9). Laureate head of Trajan right; c/m: draped bust of Hygeia, with serpent before, within rectangular incuse / Laureate and draped bust of bearded male diety right, grape bunch below chin; ETOVC ZM (date) in legend. Karbach, Eirenopolis 30; SNG BN 2255; RPC III 3387; SNG Levante –. For c/m: Howgego 195. Red-brown surfaces. Host and c.m; Good VF.

From RPC Online: “Originally identified as Zeus in RPC III, where grapes were not noted. Kahrbach suggests Asclepius. The unbearded head on 3390 was identified as Dionysus, but it seems unlikely that Dionysus would be shown both bearded and unbearded.”
