My apologies, but those are my books. My hope was that those who like my writing may want to read more, even if it's not about ancient Greek...
Thank you. It took a great deal of effort, so I'm glad to hear that others like it.
Hello everyone! After more than a little work, I've completed my new site that covers my collection from Philip II, Alexander III, and the Era of...
Once upon a time (or more specifically, 332 BCE), there were four little Phoenicians. The first little Phoenician was named Gerostratos of...
FWIW, CNG seemed pretty convinced: PTOLEMAIC KINGS of EGYPT. Ptolemy II Philadelphos. 285-246 BC. Æ Chalkous(?) (10mm, 1.58 g, 12h). Uncertain...
In your link, look at the details for the CNG coin that sold in 2010. It references the above article.
Found the paper. Psoma, Selene. “Numismatic Evidence on the Ptolemaic Involvement in Thrace During the Second Syrian War.” American Journal of...
I remember researching this coin earlier and it is not from Ptolemy Keraunos. I can't find the paper that discusses it, but the argument is...

I thought I'd start a thread on what we do when we receive new coins. The following is mine: Place the coin in a new flip, since many sellers...
This looks like Price 356, in which case it would be a lifetime half-unit. Here's my lifetime unit, which I've attributed to Bucephalos. [ATTACH]...
When I looked up the definition of the fees on their web site, they're not actual customs duties but are charges to examine the items for customs...
I got that. I was wondering who the ancient "Mr. T" is.
Are you inferring that my wild conjectures about an event that I read from someone who himself wrote about it ~300 years after it occurred may be...
Nice coins! I don't recognize the first one. Do we know who minted it? The second looks like Samaria. I recently picked up a coin from there....
Presumably some of the logic was: rather than let our wives and kids become slaves, let's kill them Of course, keep in mind that Perdikkas killed...
Recently, I couldn't resist picking up this very rare obol. Its attribution is tenuous, but I'm accepting it on the argument that a) Göktürk knows...
