Lot 533

LYDIA, Philadelphia. Tiberius Gemellus (?), Caesar, 35-37. Bronze (17mm, 3.61 g 3). TIBEPION CEBACTON (?) Bare head of Tiberius Gemellus (?) to right. Rev. NEOKECAREIC Winged thunderbolt. RPC 3017. SNG Copenhagen 373. Extremely rare and in exceptional condition for this issue. Minor smoothing, otherwise, extremely fine.


For a discussion of this intriguing issue see RPC I p. 491-2. A major problem is due to the broken and recut obverse die - the only die known used for this type - that prohibits a clear reading even on an exceptional specimen like this one.
