SC, EF, No Reserve Nero, Æ30, (15.64g) Cyprus, undated, 12:00 die axis, beveled edge IM NER CLAV CAESAR Laureate head right, serpent in front. / Large S.C in laurel wreath of 8 leaves. RPC 4309(Antioch); Wruck 54(same). EF, dark tone. Some Syrian style coinage with S.C in a wreath was probably produced on Cyprus, at Paphos, or perhaps at Salamis, the city closest to Syria. The legends are the same as for coinage of Antioch, but the style and flan are quite different. Denominations include a c. 14 gram dupondius and a c. 7 gram as. RPC distinguishes between Cypriot and Syrian S.C dupondii of Augustus only. An as of the type is known. The Cypriot style is finer. The cast flans are more round, broader, and beveled on the rim, with concave reverse a bit larger than the convex obverse, similar to Roman Egyptian coinage of the time. Some of the Claudian and Neronian brass of this reverse type are broader, lighter, thinner, and with a lituus or other symbol before the portrait. RPC I notes die links between the beveled flan S.C issues of Nero, Galba and Otho and the scarcer beveled flan legate issues (RPC 4303, 4313, 4316) noting the legate and city of Antioch in the wreath. RPC II notes of the issues of Domitian, ". . . coins struck on thin, broad flans with beveled edges . . . the difference may indicate separate workshops or simply a variation in the fashion of manufacturing flans." Round, beveled, cast- flan S.C coins of Otho, Galba, Vespasian, Nerva and Trajan are also known. Analysis of the trace lead isotopes could confirm the origin of the copper, but not the actual mint. Galen, writing in the 2nd century AD, tells of the imperial control and operation of the Cypriot copper mines. Was Roman Imperial monopoly copper exported to Syria in bar form? Or, as in Ptolemaic and early Augustan times, was export of metal delivered as finished coins? Evidence of access to craftsmen and fuel suggests that the minting may have been closer to the mines. Are the beveled flan S.C bronzes all of Cypriot origin? CLICK HERE TO E-MAIL US before you bid, if you have a question about this item.
