    THAT is a really nice example. Struck with fresh dies from the look of it. So hard to get the entire obverse on the flan. But the parts that made it are crisp. Nice metal and tone also.

    It took me years to find one I liked, but it was too pricey. It took an even longer time to find another that I liked almost as much, but in my price range. Mine is Urimilk III and although I have all the hoplites, my murex shell is clipped.

    That is an awesome example, @4to2centBC !

    Of course, the lion gets to ride in the front of the galley.

    My older brother always got to sit in the front seat with my dad.
