for some strange reason I started liking coins with grapes on them a little while back. Dionysopolis, Moesia Inferior O: Head of Dionysos wreathed in ivy R: Grapes, DIONY, EY below I think there is a thread for Dionysos already, so lets see some grapes.
Neat addition, here are some more grapes (be it small ones) Maroneia, Thrace, AE18 2nd century BC. Head of young Dionysos right, wreathed with ivy and band across forehead / MARWNITWN, Dionysos standing left, holding grapes. Tarsus (?), Cilicia 4th c. BC , AR 3/4 obol .50g Baal seated left holding a scepter in his left hand, grapes and corn ears in his right. Forepart of a wolf right, crescent to upper left SGCV II, 5660. SNG Levante 223
Excellent grapey coin, icerain! And if you're going to have Dionysos on a coin, might as well make it one from Dionysopolis, eh.
My only grape. Thessaly, Meliboeia Mid to late 4th century BC Æ Chalkous O: Head of nymph left, with hair in bun at top of head. R: ME–ΛI, grape bunch on vine. 13mm 1.87g BCD Thessaly II 454 MELIBOIA (or Meliboea) was an Okeanid Nymph of Syria, in west Asia. She was loved by the river-god Orontes who stayed his streams to woe her and flooded the Syrian plain.
Sweet => icerain, I love the new Dionysos-n-grape addition (he is the God of wine, eh?) Thrace, Maroneia
