Olba


Please add updates or make corrections to the NumisWiki text version as appropriate.
Olba, and not Olbia, according to Vaillant, quoting Ptolemy, was a city of Pamphylia, which territory borders on Cilicia.  It was also a Roman colony, as its coins testify, bearing the legend COL. IVL. AVG. OLBANEN, with the equestrian figure of the God Lunus.  It has one autonomous coin, one Greek Imperial, struck in honour of M. Aurelius, and two Colonial Imperial inscribed to Julia Maesa and Gordianus Pius.
