Beautiful denarius Greg, and great coins everyone else!
I'm glad you feel cleared up. Unfortunately, when you look into Datames and Pharnabazos, you may feel muddy again. It's not always clear who these...
So, looking a bit deeper into the attribution of these types, the staters have the names of one of two satraps: Datames or Pharnabazos. Datames...
Congrats on another coin that fits your niche, VK! Amazon said that book was collectible, so I took them at their word and collected it. Next...

Yeah...if it were mine, I certainly wouldn't see a need to upgrade it either! Scratch - what scratch? I had to go back and look at the coin, and I...
Nice coin! I love the stately depiction of Tanit on these issues, and I love the color of electrum. I also love that these types aren't wildly...
You guys crack me up. :D
