Message:: [QUOTE="Curtis, post: 24804397, member: 26430"]Fascinating countermark collection! <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-weird-countermark-another-wild-guess-scythia-ailios-cm-hermes-star.354636/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/another-weird-countermark-another-wild-guess-scythia-ailios-cm-hermes-star.354636/">Your star & petasos one</a> reminds me of one I posted above in the group photo of 3 coins (top left): Moesia, Callatis AE with two countermarks, one a seven-rayed star (sometimes it came in eight) & a head in circular incuse. I note also that <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Callatis+ae+petasos+&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&currency=usd&order=1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Callatis+ae+petasos+&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&thesaurus=1&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&currency=usd&order=1" rel="nofollow">Callatis produced a Hermes in Petasos bronze </a>coin, so the imagery fits... (Also, while trying to look that up I was able to attribute one of my new ones as MI-Theta (retrograde) for Mithradates (II?), which Leu cites as Kovacs p. 79, 22; usually on earlier Mithradatic AEs but mine looks like maybe a Seleukid host (!).)[/QUOTE]
