PAMPHYLIA. Side. Time of Nero or Later, mid 1st-mid 2nd century . (Bronze, 16 mm, 3.36 g, 5 h). Head of Athena to right, wearing crested Corinthian helmet. Rev. CI-ΔH Nike alighting to left, holding wreath in her outstretched right hand and palm branch with her left. Unpublished?, but cf. SNG France 740 var. Struck on a broad flan. Very fine.



The use of the latinized C in the ethnic, instead of the old Greek Σ, is an indication that this coin was struck around the time of Nero or later. The first use of the letter C is attested during the reign of Tiberius, but the old Σ was used almost exclusively until the reign of Claudius.
