LYDIA, Philadelphia (as Philadelphia Neocaesarea). Tiberius. AD 14-37. Æ (14.5mm, 2.58 g, 12h). Bare head right / Winged thunderbolt. Clark, Renaming 3 (O1/R3); Kurth 150 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration); RPC I 3017; LS 24 (under Tiberius Gemellus); Vagi 480 (under Tiberius Gemellus; same obv. die as illustration). Brown patina, some roughness. VF.

Previously attributed to Tiberius Gemellus, a note in RPC online confirms the attribution to the emperor Tiberius based on the existence of a couple of high grade specimens; “Coin /14 removes any doubt about the attribution to Tiberius. See J. Clark, 'The renaming of Philadelphia Neocaesarea under the emperor Tiberius', NC 180 (2020), pp. 127-31, for a die study and confirmation of the attribution to Tiberius. The reading is clear on the rare die.”
