I missed "S" while out of town, so didn't post my Side (Phoenicia), Segesta, Selinus, and 5 Syracuse pieces. I'll have to post my "T"s soon or will miss out on those, too!

 

A-N, I suspect 'zumbly' will make an exception for you....

 

Well, I'd like to think we're not that uptight around here .
I for one would like to see your "S" city coins. And your "T" ones. Heck, if you've got a "U" city coin, post that too!

 

Are we into U coins?

 

Well, let's see: S is for Segesta, Sicily:

Selinos, Sicily:

Side, Phoenicia:

And especially Syracuse, Sicily:

 

And "T" is for: Thurium, Lucania:

and Tarsos, Cilicia:

 

Yeah, why not, let's see those "U" city coins.

 

Forgive the image. It's one of my very old pictures I need to update.
