<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1947918, member: 42773&quot;]Meshorer didn&#039;t even come close to cataloging all the varieties of these minute bronzes. Neither did Schmitt-Korte, but SK&#039;s catalog is a bit more extensive. He lists a coin identical to yours but with a dot between the cornucopiae, so I would attribute your coin as S-K 25 (var). Evidently the engravers were given <i>carte blanche</i> to sprinkle monograms and other symbols on the coins as they chose.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the only instance in Nabataean history, and Syllaeus should properly be called a would-be usurper. He never achieved his goal of ruling the empire.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, a warm thank you to Peter for featuring this thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
