tify. On the specimen ofSeplimius Severus in the British Museum, Athena is looking backwards at her reflection in the waters ofLake A ulokrene, and the satyr Marsyas is depicted behind a rocky knoll extending his arms in surprise as he views the goddess. It is possible that the die-engraverfor the present coin useda worn example of Severus' type as a model and hence mistook the rocky knoll and Marsyas as Athena's billowing cloak (as depicted on this coin). In any event, it is obvious that this is a depiction ofthe same scene when it is compared to the BM specimen. To continue the story, upon seeing her reflection in the water and not liking how her cheeks puffed out while playing theflute,the vain Athena discarded it. Marsyas picked up the rejected instrument, became very proficient in its use, and challenged Apollo to theirfateful contest. 840. IONIA, Smyrna. Gordian III. 238-244 AD. JE 35mm (20.79 gm).

This is the second specimen of this rare obverse die that we have offered (see CNA VI, lot 322). It was noted in the descriptionfor that piece, which shares the same obverse die with this coin, that the obverse legend was probably an engraver's blunder as it named him Augustus not Caesar. It has been suggested, however, by noted San Francisco collector R.S. Speck that perhaps this legend is not a blunder but rather a transitional issue engraved in haste right after Gordians elevation to Augustus before dies could be made depicting him laureate. 934.
