<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2324621, member: 72818&quot;]This bronze struck under Mithradates VI of Pontos appealed to me based on its styling and artistry. It is rather common and inexpensive in most grades but the details and devices are well defined. It also exhibits obvious &#039;flan adjustment marks&#039; which seem to add to its appeal rather than detract from it---for me at least LOL. About 20 years or so after this coin was struck, the Romans assumed control of Amisos until about 1200 AD when the Seljuks captured the city. Amisos is modern Samsun in the north coast of Turkey.</p><p><br /></p><p>AE-22 of Amisos, Pontos; struck 85-65 BC</p><p>Laureate head of Zeus right</p><p>Eagle standing on thunderbolt, head turned back, opened wings; monogram left</p><p>8.29 grams, 22.2 mm; SNG COP 134</p><p>[ATTACH=full]470449[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post anything remotely related<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
