    I can't believe no one has brought this gal up yet. I know, it's a U.S. coin.

    While Susan was no fetching beauty, even a steak tied around Eunice's neck couldn't get the dogs to play with her . . . . . . .

    Eunice actually looks like Susan's older brother . . . . .

    A coin of Cleopatra VII (the seventh Cleopatra was the famous one) is on my "to do" list.

    I looked at some at the FUN show last month, but didn't buy either of the pair I looked at. These usually come pretty rough.

    The real historical Cleopatra did not look like Liz Taylor, of course.

    I'll let this gentleman cover that.

    Strange subject for a thread, discussing standards of female beauty (or the apparent lack thereof). But OK, whatever. I'll play along. *shrugs*

    Arethusa is a little weird-looking here. But it is a pretty Archaic coin.

    Greece (Sicily, Syracuse): ca. 470-450 BC silver litra of the Second Democracy

    Also pretty early. I reckon I've seen better looking versions of Athena than the one featured on the obverse of the famous "owl" coins.

    Greece (Attica): ca. 440-404 BC silver "Owl" tetradrachm of Athens

    Any guesses as to who's pictured here?
    Egypt_Cleopatra-MA_tetra_GM-FUN_obv_0750px.jpg
    Tetradrachm, Cleopatra VII Queen of Egypt, 36 BC

    Oh the real picture:

    Yes scholars say this is probably not what she looked like.

    She probably looked better than the tetradrachm tho. I hope to one day afford a nicer one...

    She must of been a hottie, otherwise Marcus Antonius would not have dumped Octavia for her.

    Cleopatra didn’t need to be a hottie. Don’t forget she was fabulously wealthy and in control of most of the grain Rome needed to feed itself, among other things.

    Yes, that Cleopatra, the seducer of Caesar and Mark Antony.

    Quite a remarkable resemblance there! Sisters, separated by nearly 19 centuries.

    Wow, I don’t know if it has been smoothed or tooled (or not), but that is a super nice Cleopatra Æ! They’re usually pretty ratty, as you know.
