Another one for the list, despite it being an island rather than city-- Rhodes.
Susa might be a good inclusion for its prominence in several cultures over the course of ancient history.
@Alegandron is going to chime in soon with a protest about calling some of these places "Greek" :D
Samos might be appropriate for the list, although it's an island rather than a city. [IMG] IONIA, Samos 510-500 BCE AR drachm, 13.7 mm, 3.2 gm...
Well, you two hit the big ones already :p. How about Sparta... although I don't have anything from its heyday. [IMG] LACONIA, Lakedaimon...
Hi Norm! Happy new year to you too :). You probably saw this thread in the "new posts" section and didn't notice that it is on the Ancients...
How many hours old is the new year? You folks clearly need a 12 step group :D
My main goal is to update my website, make labels for the last year's worth of coins (plus some mixed lot stragglers from previous years), to...
No, the top layers of that coin have corroded away. It has already been cleaned-- there is really nothing else that could be done to improve the...

Kronos also seems appropriate for the day :) [ATTACH] CILICIA, Flaviopolis. Domitian Æ 1/3 Assarion, 17 mm, 3.2 gm. dated CY 17 (89/90 CE) Obv:...
They're die matches, both obverse and reverse. Here's an outline of Mike's coin atop DR's coin: [ATTACH]
The coin has the appearance of a cast and both sides are from the same "die" (mold, in this case). I think it's a modern creation... a jeweler's...
IVN has a wonderfully diverse selection. His A-Pi is my favorite. As for yours... the Hadrian semis, Geta, and of course JC are standouts to me...
On the scale, actually :P :D RR, your specialty is such a wonderful complement to the more common collection paths walked by most of us on CT!...
Cheers, Erin! Looking forward to coining with you in 2019 :)
I certainly can't argue with your #1 pick. Wow!! Other favorites: Antioch Vespasian, Domitian cistophorus, Domitia denarius.
