<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2461578, member: 4298&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I mainly focus on Roman, either republic or empire, and medieval Dombes, I can indulge myself with the occasionnal greek bronze. But my only greek silver so far is an obol that Santa brought last Xmas</p><p><br /></p><p>A few weeks ago, I was staring at an Athena/owl tetradrachm shown off by a fellow member on a french forum, thinking &quot;<i>that&#039;s a kind of must have that I will certainly add to my trays....someday</i>&quot;. But, as far as I can remember I&#039;ve always had that kind of thoughts about that precise coin type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, my wife suddenly arose behind me, saw the picture and said : &quot;<i>well, that&#039;s a nice coin for once</i> (she doesn&#039;t particularily like roman coins, finding they all look alike. Should she collect, she would probably be a french royal or a french revolution person). <i>It&#039;s your birthday very soon, find one like that and I buy it for you</i>&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>What would you do ?</p><p>I&#039;ve been brave, and faced fate :</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]516189[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>ATTICA, Athens. </b>Circa 454-404 BC.
