[QUOTE="TIF, post: 7822091, member: 56859"]How unusual... and I don't know what to make of the ID from the article. "Thonis-Heracleion"?? Not familiar with it, can't find any matching issuing city in ACsearch or Wildwinds. I guess you couldn't make sense of that either, hence the question :). The iconography looks archaic, or almost archaic and reminds me of coinage from Kaulonia: [IMG]https://www.acsearch.info/media/images/archive/93/7262/7472511.m.jpg[/IMG] [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7472511[/URL] Bruttium, Kaulonia AR Stater.

If so, that search term didn't help me either :(.[/QUOTE]
