Note |
These coins are triple dated: year 50 of Berytus, 6 of Cleopatra in Phoenicia and 21 of Cleopatra in Egypt. The last two dates enable us to date the series to 32/31 BC. Assuming the same starting point for all eras, which seems a reasonable assumption, year 1 of Berytus is 81/80. It follows that the year 53 coins (RPC 4531-3) date to 29/28, not 28/27.
