<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob L., post: 3285764, member: 56976&quot;]Some of my favs of 2018, starting with Elymaeans (including a van&#039;t Haaff plate coin, third one down), then some Parthian tets and, finally, a group shot of my fledgling collection of ancient bronze weaponry, something I&#039;ve really gotten into in recent months - originally begun just to give my coins some context (since most of these are from ancient Iran and surrounding Western Asia) - but it&#039;s a group that&#039;s starting to take on a life of its own and I will definitely be building it up in 2019.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The weapons include Parthian types (as per Malloy and Sermarini) arrowheads (the little guys facing downward to the left), Graeco-Scythian arrowheads (facing to the lower right), larger Luristani arrowheads, and large blades (daggers or spears, and one short sword).&nbsp; The blades are from Luristan or other Western Asian regions and date to c. 1200-800 BC.&nbsp; (Seriously old!)&nbsp; Sizes here range greatly, from about 15mm for the smallest arrowhead to 46cm (18”!) for the short sword...that one would have been longer if not for the broken tip.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]868725[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]868726[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]868727[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
