It's Thanksgiving, so post your coins of Antioch

This is very nice. I think I'll do something similar. Just give me a little while.

I didn't realize you were such an adorable little kitten!

 

Another thread I dont see posting tons of mine in, but great stuff so far.

 

Yeah, I'm just a fluffy hairball!

 

Much more manly.

 

Hi. Happiest Thanksgiving to all Americans. I can smell roasted turkey from here. Well talking about Antioch, the river Orontes crosses the city of Antioch. So this is a Roman coin representing god river Orontes swimming. Charles

 

Here's my take on the map idea. I could probably do this a dozen times over with different coins - maybe I'll make a few more...

 

The boy emperor, Elagabalus, transporting the Sacred Stone of Emesa. This denarius was struck in Antioch



And once again, the diorama (which looks great in my foyer! )

 

I hope you have that in a climate-controlled display case, so that's it's properly preserved for posterity.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I WANT THIS COIN! #Too beautiful for words

 

Hmm, Caria... I'll post mine later...

 

Man, I must be even more dense than originally diagnosed!!?

Ummm, why Antioch?

 

I dunno. Why not?

 

It's in Turkey.
