<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 8130155, member: 103829&quot;]Dear [USER=83845]@Curtisimo[/USER]!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much for this clear and concise overview of the history of the Kosonstater and its problems.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to draw your attention here to a side issue that is unfortunately too often overlooked. The Kosonstaters are more or less regularly found together with gold staters attributed to Mithridates. Doesn&#039;t this suggest that they are related to the cosonstaters?</p><p><br /></p><p>In my collection I have a specimen of which Harlan J. Berk writes in 2004:</p><p>This is an imitation of a gold stater of Lysimachus, struck to pay the Thracian mercenaries that Brutus recruited for his fight against Octavian and Marcus Antonius.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1416182[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>If that is the case, then these staters should contribute to the solution of the Koson mystery!</p><p><br /></p><p>Another question is wether this is really one of the staters found together with the Kosonstaters. Until today I have only the word of of Harlan J. Berk.</p><p><br /></p><p>With kind regards</p><p>Jochen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
