Mein Cistophor hat das Monogram ME zwischen den beiden Schlangenköpfen und laut Verkäufer, geprägt ca. 123-104 v. Chr., Kleiner-Noe Series 18.
23 mm, 12,68 g
Mysia, Pergamum
Daher jetzt meine Frage: wenn ich es richtig verstehe, und laut Noe, Sydney P. (Sydney Philip), 1885-1969, Kleiner, Fred S.(Early Cistophoric Coinage) wurden cistophori mit Monogram ME (unter anderen) zwischen 135 - 128 v. Chr. geprägt, nicht ca. 123 - 104 v. Chr. acsearch https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7396439 sagt ca. 76 BC

"SERIES 27-31b, 135-128 B.C.
Series 27: Above center, ME; to r., club entwined by serpent.
88-a. *ANS-ETN (Asia Minor 1928, 30), 12.76↖ ( Plate VIII, 6)
89-b. ANS-Strauss, 12.65↑
89-c. *ANS-ETN (Asia Minor 1928, 31), 12.51↑ ( Plate VIII, 7); London (Asia Minor 1928, 32), 12.65↑
90-d. ANS-Strauss, 12.55↑ ANS-BYB, SNG 972, 12.63↑"
<snip>
(Plate VIII, 6) http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/a ... 795#fig-96 hat das selbe Monogram ME
und etwas weiter unten:
"Series 27-30 do, however, attest to a less radical change in Pergamene format at about the time of the creation of the Province of Asia. A periodically changing symbol still occupies a position in the right field, but a monogram (or initials) now appears between the serpents heads. This format was to remain the rule for all subsequent Pergamene cistophori until the discontinuation of the series in 67 B.C. On the latest Pergamene pieces ( Plate X, 11)15 the initials are associated with the mark of the prytaneis (image)16 and these officials may also have been responsible for the coinage at this date, if not from its inception.
Series 27 pairs a club entwined by a serpent with ME and Series 28 a fulmen with EP. Series 29 and 30 combine AΣ with a bunch of grapes and ivy leaf and a gorgoneion respectively. The use of both initials and symbols may indicate dual responsibility for the series involved. The retention of AΣ in Series 30 may point to a longer term of office for one of the two magistrates."
"The burial date of the hoard may be fixed with confidence due to the presence of numerous dated Ephesian pieces which include all the varieties with regnal dates and a continuous series of pieces with provincial era dates through year ⊏ or 129/128 B.C. The latest series of Sardes, Thyatira, Tralles and Apameia are all present, as are Pergamene Series 27-28 and 30-31. All these series must therefore antedate 128 B.C."
und weiterhin:
"The use of a personal monogram in conjunction with a symbol is characteristic of Pergamene emissions from Series 27 on, as well as of the latest issues of Tralles, Apameia and Sardes"
daher denke ich, dass Kleiner-Noe Series 27 eher zutrifft.
Bei all diesen verschiedenen Datierungen, kann jemand Klarheit schaffen? welches ist das richtige Datum, oder wenigstens das plausibelste:?
Viele Grüße
