Heh, you're right. I didn't remember that one!
Looking through Wildwinds, there are possibilities other than Syria for ethnic-in-wreath bronzes. Perhaps Zeugma, Commagene? There is a listing...
Obverse looks like Marcus Aurelius. Reverse of legend (ethnic) in wreath = a Syrian city.
Hmm, Bing... I see what you mean about the letter A on Coin 1 (all of the As)-- the cross bar is much more defined than the As on the other coins....
Hmm. I'll take a stab at it. Coin 2's reverse looks suspicious. The devices are richly detailed yet the dotted border is indistinct at best....
Oh, I understand now. You were looking at the Wildwinds listing for the city of Lysimachia, not the extensive page of coins for Lysimachos, the...
What a fantastic portrait! Nice find, Oki :)
There is no need to contact Dane. It is not a triobol. It is a tetradrachm of Lysimachos. Tetradrachms of Lysimachos with Athena seated reverse...
I can't find the poll, but if I recall correctly there were numerous members/posters in your age group.

Welcome, and congratulations on de-lurking! :D Looking forwards to seeing your coins and contributions :)
This is one of the reasons I enjoy collecting Roman Provincial coins. There is still much to be discovered and learned about them :). I like...
I have a handful of coins with provenances dating to the 1800s. Thirteen of them are from the collection James R. Eaton (1834-1897), a professor...
Thistle was my first thought too. Artichokes are thistles and are native to Sicily. Perhaps it is a young artichoke although it requires some...
Fantastic coin, panzerman! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trade goodies.
Hmm, I don't know about the Crete or Kolophon attribution. Tiny bronzes with (Apollo?) and lyre motifs were issued by many cities, particularly...
Congrats on post #100! Here are two coins totaling 100 gm, although the weights were from a old scale that was accurate to 0.1 rather than 0.01....
