[QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4446758, member: 96898"]Thanks for the interesting and informative write-up! I didn't know about the historical connection to Eumenes II, so I learned something from you today. My own example of this Pergamon type could in FSR terms be described as "somewhat crude," and it also requires better photography at some point. It's identifiable as monogram #2a (right). [ATTACH=full]1110778[/ATTACH] My better trophies are all Roman: [ATTACH=full]1110775[/ATTACH] [SIZE=3]Roman Republic, moneyer: M. Furius L. f. Philus, AR denarius, 119 BC, Rome mint. Obv: M. FOVRI.
