[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 1682720, member: 44140"]I managed to sneak in one last coin, I bought this about a week ago but it has yet to arrive. This I picked up in the wake of the First Meris tetradrachm. :eek: There seemed to be a few of these for sale for not alot of money compared to others that have sold. This denomination is called a double Victorianus. Approx. 6.3 g x 23 mm the coin features The head of Zeus left. On the reverse the names GOROGANES and SOSIPATROS with the likeness of Athena advancing right with shield and spear.

Thessaly was annexed by the Romans after the defeat of Macedon in 196 BC until becoming part of the Province of Macedonia in 146 bc. Here I share with you the sellers photo, as always I can't wait to take my own. [ATTACH]252298.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
