The letters IGP on the reverse indicate that the coin was struck in the year 
113 of the era of Anazarbus, i.e. AD 94/95. During the reign of Domitian, 
coins were struck only in 112 and 113 (AD 93/94 & 94/95), but in no 
less than six different denominations. All in all Ziegler (1993) notes eight 
1½ Assaria from Domitian, and a total of 96 coins for the period.
