                                MYSIA, Pergamum. Claudius. 41-54 AD. Æ 18mm 
                                (5.20 gm). Commemorative issue struck under 
                                Domitian, circa 81-96 AD. Bare head right / 
                                Tetrastyle temple enclosing statue of Augustus. 
                                cf. RPC I 2370. VF, dark green and brown patina. 
                                Possibly unique.
                                This magistrate is unpublished for any Pergamene 
                                issue. Nevertheless, he has the title of 
                                strategos, which places the issue under the 
                                reign of Domitian. RPC notes a few issues of 
                                Augustus that were apparently struck under 
                                Domitian, as the present coin (cf. RPC I pp. 
                                399-400).
