Don't know if this magistrate Plancius Varus is related to Varus who lost the legions in the Teutoburger Forest AE 25 9.44 g, 12h Phrygia, Apameia (Kibotos) 69 – 79 AD, issued by magistrate Plancius Varus RPC II, 1389; BMC (Catalogue of the Greek Coins of Phrygia, p. 95) 150-151; SNG von Aulock 3491; Waddington 5709; Weber 3471; SNG Copenhagen (Heft 29), 210; SNG München (Heft 24) 151-152; SNG Tübingen (Heft 6) 3982; Mionnet VII, 157 The obverse is a bit off-center, but all the legends are legible, which I definitely like Ob.: ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ ΟΥΕΣΠΑΣΙΑΝΟΣ (counter-clock wise starting at 5) laureate head of Vespasian to r. Rev.: ΕΠΙ ΠΛΑΝΚΙΟΥ ΟΥΑΡΟΥ ΚΟΙΝΟΝ ΦΡΥΓΙΑΣ ΑΠΑΜΕΙΣ (counter-clock wise starting at 11 - under Plancius Varus, Koinon of Phrygia, of the Apameans) bundle of five grain stalks.
It's an interesting pickup, but I have very few provincials from that area and even less coins of Vespasian.
