Antioch (Antiochia ad Orontem), Seleucis and Piera, Syria

Obverse:  ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥΡ Ϲ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ  (AVT K M AVP C ANTwNINOC) (avt k m avp c antVninoc) with laureate head right. 

Reverse: SC with delta above and epsilon below in a wreath. The diameter is 20 mm and is 3.27 g, die axis 175 deg. Reference: Butcher 468, RPC VI, 8037

Obverse:  ΑΥΤ Κ Μ ΑΥ ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ (AVT K M AV ANTwNINOC) (Avt k m av antVninoc) laureate head right. 

Reverse: SC legend in laurel wreath terminating in circle with pellet. Delta Epsilon in upper field. Eagle with spread wings in lower field. The diameter is 20 mm and is 5.00 g, die axis 170 deg. Reference: Butcher 470, RPC VI, 8043

Obverse: bust right. 

Reverse: The Tyche of Antioch, veiled and turreted, seated left on rock, holding corn ears and resting left hand on rock. Above, ram jumping left, head turned; below, river god swimming left. (Sometimes three or six dots are present in the exergue.) In the field on either side of Tyche, Delta - E / S- C (Usually there is a symbol in field before Tyche or above ram.) The diameter is 32.5 mm and is 17.92 g, die axis 0 deg.  Reference: BMC 470, Butcher 474 most likely. Butcher distinguishes between types of busts and this coin falls into his first distinction as an "angular" bust. His large denomination lists as 18.01g which this falls within. Obverse ΑΥΤΚΑΙΜΑΑΥΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟCCEΒ  (AYTKAIMAAYANTwNINOCCEB) (AytkaimaayantVninocceb) and Reverse legends ΑΝΤΙΟΧEΩΝΜΤΡΟΠΚΟΛΩΝΙ (ANTIOXEwNMTPOpKOLwNI) (AntioxeVnmhtpoPkoLVni)  were variously divided and abbreviated according to Butcher. The condition of the coin will not allow determining the exact legends.

Obverse: ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΑV ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟC CЄ (AVT K M AV ANTwNINOC Ce) (AvT K M Av ANTVNINOc c¥) laureate bust right. 

Reverse: ΑΝΤΙΟΧЄΩΝ ΜΗΤ ΚΟ S C Δ Є (ANTIOXewN MHT KO S C d e) (Antiox¥Vn mht ko s c D ¥) Tyche wearing turreted head-dress, seated left; river god Orontes swimming below. The diameter is 25.3 mm and is 12.34 g, die axis 0 deg. Reference: BMC Galatia etc. pg. 206, 459; L&K 2008; Weber 7969 ID from aeqvitas.com (Still being researched against Butcher's reference. This coin is fairly far under the weight of the largest denomination of 18.01g, however is fairly far over the weight of the medium denomination of 10.46g. Based on the style of the omega on the reverse as well as the probable style of the bust, it would appear to fit under his first category 'Angular' for the style of the bust. As the Tyche on the reverse is seated left, This would leave us as Butcher 474 for 18.01 g large denomination coin or Butcher 476 for a 10.46 g medium denomination coin. The large denomination coin would have a ram jumping left above the Tyche's head.)

Obverse:  ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΑV ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟC CЄΒ (AVT K M AV ANTwNINOC CeB) (AvT K M Av ANTVNINOc c¥b) laureate bust right. 

Reverse: ΑΝΤΙΟΧЄΩΝΜΗΤΡΟΠΚΟΛΩΝΙ S C Δ Є (ANTIOXewNMHTPOpKOLwNI S C d e) (Antiox¥VnmhtpoPkoLVni s c D ¥)The Tyche of Antioch, veiled and turreted, seated left on rock, holding corn ears and resting left hand on rock. Below, river god swimming left. In the field on either side of Tyche, Delta - E / S- C. The diameter is 26 mm and is 8.63 g, die axis 345 deg. Reference: BMC Galatia etc. pg. 206, 459; L&K 2008; Weber 7969 ID from aeqvitas.com, Butcher 476. 476 was determined from elimination of the other Butcher types. Obverse legend verified as far as can be seen, reverse from Butcher, who lists it as variously divided and abbreviated.

Obverse:  ΑVΤ Κ Μ ΑV ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟC CЄΒ (AVT K M AV ANTwNINOC CeB) (AvT K M Av ANTVNINOc c¥b) laureate bust left. 

Reverse: ΑΝΤΙΟΧЄΩΝΜΗΤΡΟΠΚΟΛΩΝΙ S C Δ Є (ANTIOXewNMHTPOpKOLwNI S C d e) (Antiox¥VnmhtpoPkoLVni s c D ¥) The Tyche of Antioch, veiled and turreted, seated left on rock, holding corn ears and resting left hand on rock. Below, river god swimming left. In the field on either side of Tyche, Delta - E / S- C. The diameter is 26 mm and is 10.53 g, die axis 0 deg. Reference: BMC 464, Butcher 476. 476 fits the weight 10.46, the bust left, with out being radiate, draped and cuirassed as 480 is. Obverse legend verified, reverse from Butcher, who lists it as variously divided and abbreviated.

Obverse:  ΑΥΤ Κ Μ Α ΑΝΤωΝΕΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ  (AYT K M A ANTWEINOC CEB)  (AYT K M A ANTWEINOC CEB) Laureate head with slight drapery at truncation right, wreath ties behind. 

Reverse: ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ ΤΟ Β (dHMAPX ex VpATOC TO B) (Dhmapx ¥J vPatoc to b) Eagle standing left (or possibly facing), head and tail right, star between legs, delta epsilon in field. It is a billon Tetradrachm. It is 25 mm and is 10.17 g, die axis 0 deg. Reference: Sear 2141[1988ed] variety. GIC3096 is left looking eagle. B is for second consul = AD 219. BMC 20.202, 420. Prieur 254. Butcher suggests that "Stylistically and typologically, if not epigraphically, Elagabalus' tetradrachms fit better at Laodicea ad Mare than at Antioch. The difficulties in distinguishing the products of Antioch and Laodicea during the later Severan periods shows how closely linked the two mints had become..." I will list this also under Laodicea ad Mare. RPC just marks them as "uncertain mint of the Syrian Tetradrachms", RPC VI, 7963 (probably). RPC VI, 7969 looks similar, but says eagle facing, but the eagles look very similar

Obverse: IMP C M AVR ANTONINVS AVG with laureate head right. 

Reverse: Large Delta and epsilon with star below in a laurel-wreath. The diameter is 19.5 mm and is 3.71 g, die axis 180 deg. Reference: SGI 3098, BM-447-50, SNG Cop-248-9, ex Harlan J. Berk. As far as I can tell, according to Butcher (p.233-236, 384) and Bellinger, this coin was probably minted at Laodicea ad Mare rather than at Antioch. I will list this also under Laodicea ad Mare.
