Philip II - Recent Purchase

Should we also mention that one of the ants shown above has a variation with a captive at his feet? Specialists care about such things but many people see them as equal and probably didn't notice. I 'flyspeck' some specialties and ignore things on other coins.

I missed it.

 

Philip-II, eh?

=> I have a couple of winners ...

AE Sestertius ($60 Hammer)




Æ Pentassarion (more than $60 Hammer)



... man, we have nice coins, eh? (congrats brothers ... and sistas!!)

 

Don't have much coins of Philip II

 

Icerain => although that is a super-fine Philip-II ... you have posted the sweet Greek-version of the namesake (still a total winner)

Ummm, does this mean that we get to start posting our Greek Phil-2's?

I love it when a post takes a turn => what's 600 years between friends, right?

... you rock!! (it's like an awesome, never-ending Easter egg hunt!!)



Cheers





.... hey, maybe they're related?

 

Hey, Steve. I'll see your Greek Philip and 'raise' you one.

 

LOL, I was going to comment earlier about the REAL Philip II, but I dropped it. @stevex6 picked up the ball...

And, hey, how about a couple Danubian Celtic Kugelwangel-style Imitations of Philip II?

 

i have one philip ii coin, here they both are...

 

@stevex6 well they are all considered ancients right?

Besides, which thread didn't we hijack recently and started posting whatever... I mean the coins we want to post.

btw. I got another Philip coin but its not Philip II its Philip V.

 

Well, as long as we're piling on in all ways

steve6, you have an excellent Syrian Philip of Seleucia and Pieria. I really like that type. Philip I and Philip II have the same legend, so distinguishing them is tricky. I'd say, from the portrait, yours is Philip II.
