[QUOTE="wittwolf, post: 7664984, member: 116854"]Yesterday I happily received an awesome provincial bronze coin from the reign of Gallienus: Its from the city of Aphrodisias in Caria - Modern day Turkey. The reverse features the temple of Aphrodite from that place which basically must have been a love cult?: [ATTACH=full]1317333[/ATTACH] I wonder if the temple front featured on this coin is this one which is still standing today: [ATTACH=full]1317334[/ATTACH] If this is the same temple and it really looks alot like it this would be my first ancient coin featuring a building still standing today :happy: Anyways feel free to post your coins from Aphrosidias or related to the Aphrodite cult <3[/QUOTE]
