RPC 1 4060- Anazrbus, Cilicia / struck 48-49 AD- Diasssrion Drachm, SNG Levante 1366; obverse is somewhat debated, according to CNG and RPC it could be one of three individuals?  Germanicus, Britannicus or Claudius?  Britannicus seems to be the most easily dismissable as RPC notes see page 95.  levante and Ziegler describe the figure on obverse as Claudius?  But the portrait style and Greek legend on a parallel issue(s) of same year (48-49) cast doubt?  Germanicus seems most likely through process of elimination. My thoughts after looking at portraits in the round of Germanicus and other Julio Claudian physiognomy (Caligula) Germanicus seems to be on obverse?    Joe Geranio  Text.
