Note
Sarnakounk 370 (14.58) has an unclear object behind Antony's head, perhaps also a horse's head; a very worn coin in the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum also seems to have something behind his head. The coin was attributed by Sv to Cyrenaica. See M. and K. Prieur, The Syro-Phoenician Tetradrachms and their Fractions (Lancaster PA and London, 2000), p. 6, where the coins are given to ‘Antioch’s secondary mint’ (but with no arguments for the attribution). Butcher, CRS, pp. 55-8, agrees with a date of 36BC, and is also uncertain about mint attribution.
