Note The coin was dated tentatively to the period of Titus by Hill (MS note in L), perhaps followed by Grant, APT, p. 138, no. 10, but it has been placed here under Augustus, as the types are so close to 3529 and 3530, and it is regarded as a smaller denomination contemporary with 3529–30. There remains the problem of the use of the name Antioch before the Flavian times, but this does not seem decisive against an earlier dating.
