LYDIA, Philadelphia (as Neocaesarea). Tiberius. AD 14-37. Æ (16mm, 3.19 g, 6h). TIBEPION CЄBACTON, bare head right / NEOKECAPEIC, thunderbolt. Clark, Renaming 3e (dies O1/R3 – this coin); Kurth 150 (under Tiberius Gemellus); LS 24 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration); RPC I 3017; Vagi 480 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration). Brown patina, obverse porosity. Near VF.

From the S & S Collection. Ex Triton V (15 January 2002), lot 1728 (hammer $1300).

Previously attributed to Tiberius Gemellus, a note in RPC online confirms the attribution to the emperor Tiberius based on the existence of a couple of high grade specimens; “Coin /14 removes any doubt about the attribution to Tiberius. See J. Clark, 'The renaming of Philadelphia Neocaesarea under the emperor Tiberius', NC 180 (2020), p. 127-31, for a die study and confirmation of the attribution to Tiberius. The reading is clear on the rare die.”
