Reference
GIC

Countermark
thunderbolt
Shape of punch
rectangular
Size of punch
5.5–6 x 3.5 mm
Applied at
Neapolis (Samaria)
Note
Possibly applied (with GIC 343) by XII Fulminata in the area of Neapolis in perhaps AD 115-117. Another explanation was that the eagle and thunderbolt referred to the cult of Zeus Hypsistos. It is difficult to date the cmks as late as the founding of the temple of Zeus under Hadrian.
