    Description
      68, Lot: 165. PHRYGIA, Apameia. Augustus (?) 27 
      BC-14 AD. Æ18mm (5.61 gm). Estimate $60. Sold 
      For $44 

      PHRYGIA, Apameia. Augustus (?) 27 BC-14 AD. 
      Æ18mm (5.61 gm). Laureate head right / Two 
      flutes within a laurel wreath RPC I 3124; SNG 
      Copenhagen 206; SNG von Aulock 3485. VF, brown 
      patina.
      The attribution of this coin to Augustus is very 
      tenuous. The head is clearly a portrait, but 
      does not resemble any of the other Augustus 
      portraits from the area.
