<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2910088, member: 77077&quot;]I acquired this set of tiny but charming Greek bronzes recently courtesy of Forum.&nbsp; It amazes me how well rendered these tiny coins are. The skill of Greek celators really fired up my passion for ancient coins, the fact that all of these will fit easily in one flip just adds to my respect for these ancient artist&#039;s skills.&nbsp; I will shoot individual photos and fully attribute and catalog each one, but for now I just wanted to showcase their designs and size.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can you recognize what each coin represents? There is a tripod, eagle, bee, flying horse, rose, goat&#039;s head, sphinx!, wheat kernel in wreath, forepart of a horse, bunch of grapes, trident, and amphora.&nbsp; Some well known Greek cities are represented.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702470[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The other sides include various gods, goddesses, some wearing crested helmets, palm tree, another rose, bull, and owl?.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702471[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The coins are resting on the insert from a 2x2 flip, on top of a matchbox that is about 3x2x1 inches.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702472[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is how I photographed them.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]702473[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope you enjoyed getting small. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your tiny and artistic ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
