Findspot Description:   E 262.61, N 1007.78, H 86.06, Nezi Field, context 888, .
Area:   Nezi Field
Notes:   The reverse of St. Coll. 72-874 is similar but not identical: there Zeus holds a fulmen, not a scepter, in his upraised r., and at his feet to l. is an eagle. The fabric is also fairly good. The closer parallel is BCD Pel 699.2, but that has as obv the youthful prince version of Caracalla typical of Peloponnesian Severan issues. The fabric of 2012-118 is also granular, like the Severan issues.
Candidate for .Michael Ierardi dates it between 211-217.
