[QUOTE="Herberto, post: 24681278, member: 74222"]Thank u so much folks. It’s amazing to read. That Chi-Rho under the eagle’s feet on that coin from Ptolemy III surprised me, since I thought Chi-Rho was exclusive Constantinian/Byzantine monogram. In case any if you have an idea: Do you think it is easy to distinguish Hellenistic monograms from Byzantine monograms? Or Romans Pagan-era monograms from later Roman Christian-era monograms? Here are Byzantine monograms from David Sears book: [ATTACH=full]1574415[/ATTACH] Can you tell me whether you see a 100% specific Byzantine style here? Or could some of those monograms above be on Ptolomaic coins by a pure coincidence? (Like that Cho-Rho symbol on that Ptolomaic coin) I dont expect an answer, but thank you in case you provide one.[/QUOTE]
