Abstract

The attribution of provincial tetradrachms with a dove motif to Askalon is generally accepted today and several types and variants of these large and impressive silver coins are assigned to the city. This paper discusses a previously unpublished tetradrachm that not only bears a dove motif but also attests to a civic era date. The new date, year 320 (216/7 CE) is the first Syro-Phoenician Caracalla tetradrachm dated by a civic era.
