Note	Probably a misread coin of Postuminus, as RPC III, 1818 (as now corrected, 2022). See also W.Eck, 'L. Dasumius Hadrianus, Konsul und Prokonsul von Asia in traianischer Zeit: ein wissen-schaftliches Phantom', ZPE 223 (2022), pp. 219-24, at 224. (I-B also referred to the coins of Sardis which mention the proconsul Baebius Tullus (RPC III, 2394), identified as the proconsul of Asia in AD 110/11.)

1	1				Trade = I-B, GRMK 133/3				This coin was described by I-B ‘im Handel’ without any indication of diameter, weight or axis, and, unfortunately, without illustration. I-B restored the obv. legend as ΑΥ ΝΕΡ ΤΡΑΙΑ- [ΝΟΝ CE ΓΕΡ] ΔΑΚΙΚΟΝ: but there is no obvious reason to have CE. He gave the reading ΑΝΘΥΠΑ ΤΟΥΛΛΩ for the reverse. Weiser (p. 282) states, without much evidence, that the coin described by I-B is in fact a coin of L. Dasumius Hadrianus, as RPC 1818, but it is probably a misread coin of Postuminus.	Show
