<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7910811, member: 19463&quot;]Aspendos is listed as first in what I have read but both used the type over a long period and dates give to coins are generally very wide spans.&nbsp; Judging from fabric, your coin must be a century before my Selge.&nbsp; Sear notes that Selge was 25 miles north of Aspendos but over the border into Pisidia.&nbsp; The Wikipedia article begins, &quot;<b>Selge</b> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language" rel="nofollow">Greek</a>: Σέλγη) was an important city in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Pisidia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Pisidia" rel="nofollow">ancient Pisidia</a> and later in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Pamphylia" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Pamphylia" rel="nofollow">Pamphylia</a>&quot; but does not elaborate on the details.&nbsp; Selge was said to have been founded by Spartans and were particularly warlike in that region. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the time, I have shown my favorite coins of Aspendos from the period when many were countermarked as shown by Curtisimo above.&nbsp; My collecting interests strongly favors coin with countermarks and I consider my later Selge somewhat &#039;defective&#039; with poor style and lacking countermarks.&nbsp;&nbsp; Repeating them:</p><p><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o6/88/582688/1/91787699.EDqdspDO.91787699.kVR1wgSE.0b00450.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1365820[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
