Note
The portrait suggests a date very early in the first decade AD. 4108-21: See M. and K. Prieur, The Syro-Phoenician Tetradrachms and their Fractions (Lancaster PA and London, 2000), pp. 6-8, where the coins are given to ‘Antioch’s secondary mint’ (but with no arguments for the attribution). The coins are also discussed by Butcher, CRS, p. 60, who suggests transferring 4161 and 4163 to this group.
