Roman Coin, Ankira [solved]

7 posts

Could you help me with identification of this coin? Mint is of the city of Ankira.
I can't read the letters to the left of the bust, but if from left to right it reads ΗΑΔΡΙΑΝΟC, then the emperor is Hadrian, and the portrait does look like him.

EDIT: Looking at it more closely, I don't think it reads "Hadrian". If you take a clear picture of the legend at the back of the head, then it should be easy to read.

I can't take other pictures right now. It's the coin of my friend. Actually, he thinks that the ruler is Caracalla.
Yes, it could be a later emperor, and Caracalla is possible as his official name was ANTONINUS, which is possibly what the legend has in the Greek.

Antoneinoc Av may be inscripted on avers. The problem is, we couldn't find any similar coins or information in the web.
There are some ANTΩNEINOC ;)

The coin is from Ancyra (Ankyra), Galatia. The reverse has Hermes with caduceus. I could not find this coin in books or online. Hopefully someone will have more success in their search.
