1	1 ✸			Cologne	Geissen 3372	28	13.11	12	ex D 10918. The attribution to Hermopolite nome is uncertain; nor is it clear that it is a name coin at all (as defined in introduction). However, the size of the coin shows that it must be a coin of Domitian between years 10 and 15, and the rev. design does not look like any other recorded piece.	Show
