Summary/Abstract: The coinage of Bizye took place in the period from the end of the first decade of the 2nd century AD to the middle of the 3rd century AD (247 AD). During this nearly 1.5-centuries long period, the Roman provincial town issued coins for six emperors and their families. Despite the large number of reverse coin types with different iconography published so far, Bizye’s coinage doesn’t cease to bring interesting surprises. In this study, we present several new, extremely rare Bizye coins, that have thus far not been published in the numismatic literature. The coins come from private collections (author’s note: wherever possible, we have indicated the auctions from which they were purchased), and have been systematized according to their issuance date, and illustrated in real size.
