[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 4175178, member: 91461"]That’s funny comparing Greek to Chinese. Cause I love Greek... And wish I understood Chinese. I wish I had the interest. But I do not. I can get down with coins not having portraits (and who doesn't love historical and mythological portraiture? Or even Ancient abstract, Celtic I'm looking at you). But when it's just writing on a coin, no matter how fancy the ancient font, I get bored and disinterested for the most part. That said, though Zeugitana had masterful celators it is Carthagenian. I've never considered them Greek (though it does get sticky with coins from Sicily during the ringer the Carthagenians were around). Ps, LOVE the ridiculous scurry movies. If you're looking for a hilarious ridiculous good time check out Satanic Panic! [ATTACH=full]1074811[/ATTACH] And to keep it legit, a fun recent classic Greek acquisition: [ATTACH=full]1074813[/ATTACH] THRACE. Thasos. Obol (Circa 411-350). Obv: Satyr in kneeling-running stance right, holding kantharos. Rev: ΘAΣIΩN. Amphora. SNG Copenhagen 1031. Condition: Near extremely fine. Weight: 0.62 g. Diameter: 11 mm. Holed Ex Savoca[/QUOTE]
