Note | Devreker also cites a coin in B; this is probably a confusion with 3547/1, as there seems to be no coin of this type in B. Minted at Tavium? 3546-51 S. Sahin, ‘Bau einer Säulenstrasse in Attaleia (Pamphylien) unter Tiberius-Caligula’, EA 25, 1995, pp. 25-7 suggests an alternative restoration for the inscription published by Mitchell and mentioned on RPC I, p. 545, but there is no new evidence for the emperors in question (Sahin prefers Tiberius and Caligula). |
