Note Fiorelli (N 8571) describes a coin of Antinous which he gives to Sardes as follows: ΑΝΤΙΝΟΟΝ ΗΡΩΑ ΠΡΟΜΥΛΙΑΝΟΥ ΑΜΦΙΚ; testa nuda di Antinoo a sin./ CΑΡΔΙΑΝΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡ; Apollo in piedi a dr., con abito talare, suonanda la lira. The obverse legend, though wrongly read, proves it is a coin of Delphi whose reverse legend must have been tooled, but the description of the type is correct, as proved by the CNG specimen. Blum Sardes 3 probably refers to such a coin
