The silver Drachms of Caesarea in Cappadocia are among the most historically significant provincial coins of the Roman imperial period, produced at the mint of the principal city of the strategically vital Anatolian province of Cappadocia, whose position on the eastern frontier of the Roman Empire made it one of the most militarily and commercially important regions in the entire Roman world. This Cappadocia Caesarea AR Drachm comes with a Choice Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), as well as 4/5 strike and 3/5 surface grades. Now, the Cappadocia Caesarea Antoninus Pius AR Drachm Coin is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This Cappadocia Caesarea Antoninus Pius AR Drachm Coin arrives in Choice Extremely Fine condition, with visual quality representing the highest end of the Extremely Fine scale. The 4/5 strike grade identifies a coin with strongly struck images and quality details remaining on each side. The 3/5 surface grade indicates a coin with modest signs of wear and tear, including some surface degradation from handling.
The obverse of Cappadocia Caesarea Antoninus Pius Coins comes with a laureate portrait of the emperor on the obverse rendered with the idealized, humanistic quality of the finest Antonine imperial portraiture, the emperor’s features expressing the calm, philosophical authority that Roman art of the 2nd century AD brought to its depictions of the sovereigns of the most powerful empire the Western world had ever seen. The reverse typically presents Mount Argaeus, the sacred volcanic peak that dominated the Cappadocian landscape and served as the defining civic symbol of Caesarea.
The Drachms struck at Caesarea between 138 and 161 AD were produced during the reign of Antoninus Pius, one of the most peaceful and prosperous periods in the entire history of the Roman Empire, when the Pax Romana was at its fullest expression, and the provincial mint at Caesarea was producing coins of exceptional quality to serve the commercial and military needs of the eastern frontier.
