Year 4(140/141 AD). JE Drachm. (19.59 gms.). Similar legend, laureate head right. [L T]ETAPTOV, Ares standing half-left as previous but at his feet, a goat standing left. Possibly unpublished type with goat on reverse. Near fine, holed, green-brown patina, very rare. (50) If the goat on the reverse is identified as a stag, then this type could be interpreted as "Ares of the Upper Sebennyte nome." However, the goat's "beard" is clearly visible thus negating the "stag theory." It is possible that the dieengraver did not understand or realize the importance of the "Upper Sebennyte nome type," and he substituted a goat for the stag out of ignorance!
