    What happened to the good old days, when women still were women, and men looked like men ?
    Answer: they never existed !

    Dear numizmatikci, it just takes time and a lot of browsing through books and images. Then your recognition skills can only improve !

    Your last one is very close i think, but you did not quite hit the jackpot yet.
    Left of the satyr is the name of the magistrate under who's authority the coins were minted. On the one you found (on wildwinds ?) it seems to read "METRO KELA" While on your specimen it seems to start with "DIOG.." So the type is very close, but different magistrate.
    (And i am certainly no expert on these)

    Yes I found the pic on wildwinds.But I am glad I m close.I have a problem with my eyes and I cant browse for long on the internet scanning photos.

    If the coin is Phrygia, Apameia 138-48 BC is enough for me because I cant go on more.But you are a great guy,thaank you so much for your help.

    I think this is a provincial coin of Antoninus Pius with Tyche reverse; however, I can't seem to find anything like it on wildwinds. I'll keep looking.

    let me remind that all these coins are found in Turkey.

    I don't think that is exactly it. I believe Tyche may be holding a cornucopia on your coin. It's hard to be certain though.
