Image rights: wildwinds.com 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, close 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. 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.
