<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2713392, member: 42773&quot;]Reid Goldberg has a nice analysis of these coins <a href="http://rg.ancients.info/lion/cherronesos.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rg.ancients.info/lion/cherronesos.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Also, Barry Murphy was working on a catalog of the varieties <a href="http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/chersonese/Cherronesos.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://bpmurphy.ancients.info/chersonese/Cherronesos.htm" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I don&#039;t know if he&#039;s still adding to that site, but it certainly does list a lot of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t find these coins boring at all - they were an important part of the commerce of Thracian Chersonesos for almost 50 years in the 4th-century BC, and aside from an occasional barbarous example, the engraving of the lions shows a consistently high level of artistic merit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
