<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2277477, member: 19463&quot;]Red_Spork&#039;s Libya makes a good point.&nbsp; There are a few Ptolemies without eagles.&nbsp; I only have one but it is also a Libya (not nearly as nice!).&nbsp; I am not certain of the full ID but believe it is Ptolemy VIII from Kyrene.&nbsp;&nbsp; Who else has&nbsp; an eagle free coin?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]454646[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Going the other way is this A27 eagle type with the legend of Antiochus IV from the time he ruled Egypt with Ptolemy VI c.168 BC.&nbsp; The obverse is said to be Isis but the features may resemble Antiochus.&nbsp; There are larger Zeus head denominations in this series which I do not have.&nbsp; The politics of the Mediterranean then was not simple and clear cut. Things changed rapidly at times. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]454656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
