<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3702037, member: 19463"]No thread on Sauroktonos will escape my posting of my favorite coin of the type even though Pat used it in her article. Pat Lawrence was a professor of art history at LSU before her retirement. She saw this coin on one of my pages and wrote asking if I knew where she might get one since she was a fan of the statue and did not know it was so well represented on coins. I put her in touch with a favorite dealer who sold her the first of her many lizard coins leading to the article. The original image she saw was not good but served us well making contact and leading ro wonderful discussions. Several of my web pages came from her suggestions and were used in her classes. Remember there was not as much available online back then. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/geta.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/geta.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/geta.html</a></p><p>Later I updated a bit but her research made my lightweight page useless.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/apollo.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/apollo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/apollo.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]992113[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
