Note: The Civic Issues of Antioch, Alexandria and Nicomedia were 
thought to have been produced by Julian II when RIC VI was written, 
therefore the entire series is missing. This series was produced 
during the period of Christian persecution by Maximinus II, 
Diocletian and Galerius and the Antioch issues portray important 
local statues: the Tyche erected by Eutychides (a pupil of 
Lysippus), the Apollo by Bryaxis of Athens and possibly the Zeus 
Nikephoros of the Temple of Apollo at Daphne which Antiochos IV 
commissioned for his great festival of 167 BC.
