EUCARPIA
There is some dabate as to if this coin by Lykidas Euxenou is Augustus or Tiberius. I was tempted to exclude this coin from the list as i dont believe it to be Augustus based on the portrait. However, the argument put forward is thus, quoted from RPC;
(Two issues are known: one signed by Lykidas Euxenou for ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΕ, and the other by the priestess Apphia for ΣΕΒΑΣΤH. The portrait on Apphia's coins look like that of Livia, as she is called Sebaste, it was presumably coined after A.D. 14. One would be tempted to identify Sebastos as Augustus in view of the lituus, but other emperors can be shown with a lituus, and the features of the portrait are as much those of Tiberius as of Augustus. Moreover, the existence of a small denomination for a empress signed by a woman suggests that it might be contemporary with the larger denomination for the emperor (compare e.g. Eumenea 3149-52 and 3142-3, or Acmonea 3170-5). If this is right, Sebastos would be Tiberius and Apphia would be the wife of Lykidas. On the other hand, the fact that Lykidas's coins were made of brass but Apphia's of bronze might suggest that they are not in fact contemporary; in that case a identification as Augustus seems preferable, though it would be slightly surprising to find only a small denomination struck at one time, and only a large one at another.)

Eumeneia,(Ishekli)
A town of Phrygia, situated on the river Glaucus, on the road from Dorylaeum to Apameia. It is said to have received its name from Attalus II B.C. 159-138 , who named the town after his brother and predecessor, Eumenes II. Ruins and sculptures still mark the place as the site of an ancient town. The district of the town bore the name Eumenetica Regio, mentioned by Pliny.
There are several issues with SEBASTOS which does make it hard to identify Augustus, however the presence of a lituus on the issue by Epigonos philopatris makes it reasonable to assume this is Augustus.
RPC lists this coin as bare headed however is does appear from the RPC plate and other examples that it is infact laureate.
