 Time of Augustus (?), AE17, (2.39g) Cyprus, Scorpion. / Capricorn
     right, star above. RPC3916. A puzzling coin with no legends
     attributed tentatively to the reign of Augustus. The weight
     standard is lower than RPC3906-7. Since the Capricorn was also a
     symbol of Vespasian, could this piece be from his reign? It may
     be a tessera rather than a coin. VG / Fair, green patina.
