[ATTACH=full]943343[/ATTACH] Pamphylia, Aspendos. AR Stater (22 mm, 10.65g). Circa 380/75-330/25 BC. Two nude wrestlers, standing and grappling with each other; between them, AK./ Rev[ΕΣΤ]FΕΔΙΙ[ΥΣ] Slinger standing right; to right, triskeles running left; all within dotted square border. SNG Paris 84. Tekin Series 4. I especially like this series because it shows athletes, instead of the gods. And now I can almost forgive myself for selling off my old baseball card collection many years ago (well, not really, but I do love the coin). I know there are many different varieties of these, so let’s see your Aspendos wrestlers![/QUOTE]
