<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2647576, member: 77077&quot;]I really like the coins of Rhegion with their facing lion heads.&nbsp; Here is another one I found recently.&nbsp; This one has a very nice green patina and a little original dirt still in the crevices.&nbsp; This is pretty close to how it looks in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]585081[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>BRUTTIUM, Rhegion, 351-280 BC.
