I was going through some purchases from a few months ago that I started identifying but didn't finish. This Thessalian League has so many simular examples I've either figured it out or I'm stumped. As with most of my collection it's worn and loved. And my photo's well I tried. It seems here of late my time has been little to spend with my favorite past time I wanted to spend it with my coins rather than fuss over taking pictures. Anyway I'm thinking Rogers 15 Am I right or wrong? THESSALIAN LEAGUE AE 19/20mm, 7.1g, 199-146 BC Laureate head of Apollo right ϴEΣΣA AΩN (left to right) Athena standing right holding shield and weilding spear. Magistrates name: T I M A in two lines across feilds Rogers 15 (?) Thanks for your input Share what you deem relevant and welcome your comments. I have another thats up @stevex6 alley. I'll hold off for now maybe he'll be back from his time out soon enough
Its amazing how we can sometimes see something that isnt really there, or cant see what may be obvious to others. I very frequently to this with late Roman mintmarks. Its one of the reasons I like this forum. We can post and many people will jump in to help. Very nice community!

True. There's a lot of knowledge bundled here in this forum. I can ask a dumb question and not get the replies that makes you feel like the fool.
