unlisted ; Isegrim database - ; cf. BMC p. 165, no. 36 (different magistrate, rev.: EΠI K APETIΔOΣ ΦIΛOΠATPIΔ) = Sear GIC p. 70, no. 725 ; cf. Imhoof KM p. 262, 2 = Winterthur coll. (different magistrate, rev.: EΠI TI KΛAYΔI ΠAΠYΛOY) ; www.acsearch.info - ; wildwinds.com - .
For same magistrate cf. a smaller coin for Galba, cf. RPC I, 519, no. 3227 (Paris coll 861 and Berlin coll. Imhoof GM p. 209, 671) (Galba, magistrate Tiberius Claudius Varus, AE20), so the date of this issue is probably just at the beginning of Vespasian´s era ca. 69-70 AD..
