Message:: [QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 8236801, member: 51347"]Great post.  I am amazed at the Die-Cutter's ability to place images / art on such a tiny canvas!  I really like those butting bull heads on yours, [USER=80952]@ambr0zie[/USER] ... very cool!  That is a lot of subject matter in such a small space. There are several of my Tetartemorions - Tets (Tetas?) that are difficult to find their true origin mint/city.  As I have asked on other Forums, plausible explanations have been that Tets are not hoarded (super-low monetary value), so they become single finds.  However, the single finds are generally in ancient market areas so it can be inferred that they Tet is from the City that they were found.  However, that theory is not conclusive... folks did travel to other market areas!
