Good fine and scarce.
The issue could also be assigned (by Wruck), to Seleucis and Pieria for Antioch ad Orentem mint. Wruck believes the reverse type to be Herakles and not Melqarth. The reverse legend indicates the fifteenth year of tribunician power and five times consul and this corresponds to A.D. 110-111.
