Note
Pennestri’s description of 2209/2 is the following: 'CΕΒ[ΑCΤΗ ΛΟΥΚΙ]ΛΛΑ/[Ι]ΑCΕΩΝ, Lucio Vero stante a s. togato, con cornucopia, in atto di sacrificare (?)'. The attribution of this coin to Iasos is certain, but the obverse legend clearly ends with - ΙΑΝΟC and Asclepius can certainly be recognised on the reverse. Therefore this coin is here given to Trajan (see also F. Delrieux,
Bolletino dell’Associazione Iasos di Caria
13, 2007, p. 48)
