Ex Credit Suisse4 (1985), ht 227. This and the previous coin are apparently part ofthe same series (SNG ANS 3 ) tentatively attributed by V. Meshorer to Shomron in Samaria. However, the discovery of these two types with the previously unknown letters aleph and kaph suggests that the letters are issue marks rather than abbreviations for the mint name. It has been suggested thai they may have been struck to be used as Persian subsidy paymerits to the Greeks during the Peloponnesian War. See PJi. Franke, The Owls of the Great King, Xenia 1984.

Howgego convincingly argues that this counterstamp for Legion XII Fulminata as well as similar counterstampsfor III Cyrenaica and X Fretensis were all applied most likely during Trajan's Parthian War and not, the more popular theory, during Hadrian's Jewish War (see Greek Imperial Countermarks - Studies Iη The Provincial Coinage of the Roman Empire

One of the great rarities in the Greek Imperial series. Uranius Antoninus based his rule (and his mint) in his home city cf Emisa, but he apparently had supporters in Antioch ofsufficient influence to strike these rare tetradrachms.

Antioch had a well-deserved reputation for civil unrest, and even more ephemeral usurpers than Uranius would serve as afocusfor dissent.
