    NewStyleKing Beware of Greeks bearing wreaths

    The Greek version: ARES
    Athens New Style Tetradrachm c80/9 BC
    Obs : Athena Parthenos right in tri-form helmet
    29mm 16.04gm Thompson (new) issue 85
    Thompson catalogue: IMITATION 1419ba
    Rev : ΑΘΕ ethnic
    Owl standing on overturned panathenaic amphora on
    which month mark Α control ΔΙ below
    2 magistrates : EUMELOS THEOXENID(E)S
    RF symbol : Ares
    All within a surrounding olive wreath.

    I have written about this coin on academia.edu in my real name of John Arnold Nisbet. The coin is an imitation New Style of a genuine official type, but this obverse is coupled with 3 different New Style reverses; Ares,Headdress of Isis and Stag! It is a post-Sullan imitation that has a pre-Sullan type reverse Headdress of Isis which must be acceptable in the new Roman world and is yet another brick into the Headdress of Isis being a pro-Roman symbol from original work by Ashton on Rhodian large bronze module coinage which I have expanded.

    NEXT- another imitation

    This is an Egyptian imitation I knowingly bought which was marketed as Athenian. It is actually Buttrey type M. It's one of my favourite coins.

    Next: an owl tet of STARR Group IV or V or any earlier Seltman groups.
