<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3223570, member: 19463&quot;]We have had many coins here from Amisos, Pontos, including the large and wonderful Headless Medusa type.&nbsp; There have been other posts featuring the Medusa head on aegis and even the wolf headdress.&nbsp; The Baltimore show provided me a type that undercuts them all.&nbsp; We all know that many Greek bronzes are a bit ordinary but here we have the Amisos entry in small (AE 13), bloodless but useful for small purchases.&nbsp; I do not recall seeing these posted here before but perhaps I have forgotten it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse is Artemis right.&nbsp; The reverse is a tripod-lebes or round bottomed bowl or cauldron supported by a tripod.&nbsp; This type is generally dated to 125-100 BC and is needed by those intent on a set of the types from Amisos.&nbsp; I thought this little coin was cute so it came home with me.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]839718[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to show your other types from Amisos but we have a current thread on the Headless Medusa so I hope someone has some of the other types from this prolific mint city.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
