It's time for me to sign off for the night---but I have to say all the coins posted are INCREDIBLE---excluding my British Museum offering, of course LOL

 

Hey C89 => ummm, or maybe I should call you Candyunderpants?!!

... geesh, it works so much better when TIF tries that britches-gag, eh?

"Lysimachus" was not a city (he was one of Alex-III's officers) ... I know, because I was gonna toss a Lysimachus-example into this sticky-thread!

... I'm just sayin' ...

=> but luckily you also tossed-in "Lampsakos" which ended-up saving you from an embarrassing TIF tongue-lashing!! (oh, great coin by the way)

Hmmm? ... ummm TIF, am I doing it correctly?

 

That was a stretch...

 

The Candyunderpants part, or the Lysimachus part?

 

Both

 

Lysimachus

 

Okay, now I think you just want me to abuse you

 

Heh... well someone has to!

 

Two of Lugdunum, brothers from different officinae, PLG, SLG...

 

Laodicea ad Mare

 

M?

 

I can almost hear zumbly and TIF conferring and agreeing it's a legitimate city in Syria....but Steve may disagree

 

Is noob asking if we're moving on to "M" already? Is everyone done with their "L" city coins? Let me quickly toss in some of my Lugdunum ones.
