Show us your eagles!

I have only one ancient coin with an eagle on it and here it is. I recently purchased it from my favorite ancient coin dealer in Israel. I believe it's a silver Ptolemaic drachm. Does anyone have an ancient eagle they would like to show?

Always like a good ptolemy eagle.

Here's my Gordian III eagle!

not my image...

 

Does the legionary eagle Aquilla count?

 

Sorry it's in a flip, but I think it's a Claudius II Antoninianus,

 

A few of my favorite eagles. A serrate denarius of A. Postumius A.f. Sp.n. Albinus, circa 81 B.C.:


And another of Marc Antony, legion XV, circa 32-31 B.C.:

 

Very cool!

 

Nice eagle Deacon Ray! I have a few "king of the skies" and messenger of the gods Roman city coins.


Alexandria, Egypt. Gallienus tetradrachm


Caria, Ceramos. Antonininus Pius AE33 Zeus Chrysaoreus


Cilicia, Antiocheia ad Cragum. Valerian AE32


Lydia, Thyateira. Pseudo-autonomus AE23 Artemis Boreitene

 

Great eagle!

 

Deacon: Nice Ptolemaic Eagle!

I love the Eagle on this one... cool history: The Revered Legio X from Caesar that Marc Antony inherited. Good eagle on the reverse, with a couple bankers marks...

Does anyone know if the B on the reverse is a bankers mark? or is it Graffito?

I have only one eagle and it's my most recent acquisition! Sure, I'll post it again:

 

That is a nice eagle and crab...

 

I'll again post my sicilian crab too:

 

The only thing I see wrong with that thistle and friends is that it must make you really want a dekadrachm from the set.
