Thank you @GinoLR for your insight. I agree that a Lihyan attribution is not obvious. I believe you would also agree that Idumaea is also not...
Looks like this one. Here's my (far less grand) silphium example. [ATTACH]
It's interesting that the reverses of our coins are nearly identical except your 'E' is sideways. The obverses, though, are completely different....
As I remember from my reading: - Sabakes "symbol" - Doesn't match any known script, but is present on all his coins. Generally believed to connote...
Thanks! Since you're far more knowledgeable in this space, I'm going to attribute it for now to Lihyan. This works for my purposes, since I'd been...
That's a very nice coin! I'm no owl expert either, but from what I can tell I concur with your attribution of Mazakes. That's a very nice find and...
Hello everyone, The Edom attribution was what drew me to this coin. However, after some research, I doubted that the attribution was correct....
Personally, I don't agree with your EF designation for the first coin. I would expect the lettering to be near perfect for an EF and the reverse...
As an aside, I once paid for some coins from Leu and they sent me a Swiss Post link that indicated the package was being sent to Australia! (for...
What @robinjojo describes has happened to be multiple times, especially with packages shipped Deutsche Post. It must be incredible - the magical...
Congrats on the tet! That sure is a gorgeous coin. I've admired a few at auction recently, but I haven't dared bid on any coin from Sicily. My...
If you're going to use that as the deciding factor, then you'll probably want to add the following: 14) Parthian 15) Orontid 16) Sophene 17)...

Eukratides ruled about 150 years after Alexander's death. Diododos founded the kingdom in roughly 250 BCE, or 80 years after Alexander's death....
This is a good question, and the answer is very subjective. You can see my attempt here. However, here's a basic list. 1) Ptolemaic Kingdom -...
I do, but I would need a lot more practice to tackle a novel. I minored in Russian in college and my wife speaks it. For a pickup line I recited...
Admittedly, I've never read "The Overcoat", though I have an unread copy in Russian downstairs. I must admit that when I saw the name Akakij...
This does puzzle me. I can see people of that era questioning a bronze drachm, since those were overwhelmingly produced elsewhere in silver, but...
I must admit that I'd hoped to show you something completely different. There were a number of coins I was interested in at an auction where I'd...
Those are wonderful connections to Paris. Although my mother's family is from Luxembourg, the main to France I've found is my great-grandfather...
