[Image] [Image] If the photos above do not load, click here for Obverse and click here for Reverse ORC4115 Augustus, portrait sestertius aF Augustus, Æ Sestertius, (22.38g) Syria or Cyprus (?), 12:00 die axis, 22 BC, [IMP AVGVST] TR POT Laureate head right. / OB CIVES SERVATOS in laurel wreath. RPC 4101; BMC 738. F/Fair, enthusiastically cleaned, porous orange metal. An issue of bronze ases and brass larger denominations, struck on "Syrian style" dumpy flans was minted either at Salamis, or a Syrian mint. RIC connects the style of the issue to the C.A coinage. RPC 4101 to 4105 are placed in Syria by RPC, with 10 of 11 provinces in Syria, and one in Cyprus. However, RPC notes, "On the other hand, the sestertius 4101 [Image] would probably be the only brass -- if that is what the [Image] metal is -- (it looks like brass, by visual inspection) coin ever made in Syria, which is rather unlikely, although not impossible." The brass sestertii have the longer obverse titles TR POT IMP AVGVST, a bare head right, dotted border and 12:00 die axis. The sestertius reverse has an oak wreath between two laurel-branches around OB CIVIS SERVATOS, "For Saving the Lives of Citizens." The dupondius has a laurel wreath around AVGVST. RIC notes, "No probably mint has yet been proposed for these coins, which are of fair sestertius weight (Weight peak 24.00-22.50g). They may be eastern rather than western, to judge from obverse portraiture and legend, although not lettering." Paphos already had several years of experience minting brass C.A coinage. An attribution to Salamis, the Cypriot port close to Syria, may balance the style, brass, and die axis with the find spots in Syria.
