55967	1	Phrygia, Laodikeia ad Lykos AE 15, 4.55g. magistrate: Zeuxis Philalethes. c.15 B.C. Bare head of Augustus to right; lituus behind. Rev. Serpent staff of Asklepios. RPC 1, 2895. SNG von Aulock 3837; small scrape in hair. Dark brown patina. The magistrate Zeuxis Philalethes is most likely the physician who founded a school of medicine at the temple of Men Karou outside of Laodikeia as mentioned by his contemporary Strabo(Geog.12,88, 50.) During Starbo's lifetime, there were two directors of the medical school, Zeuxis and Alexander Philalethes. The reverse type with the serpent staff of Asklepios further supports the association.
