[QUOTE="Broucheion, post: 3693810, member: 104887"]Hi Marsyas Mike, Thanks for the post! Here's my version of the countermark you pictured. And yes, this is another case of "Do you know the undertype?" I'm thinking it's a coin of Macedon under Rome. Since this is outside my specialty I leave it to the experts to educate me. [ATTACH=full]989792[/ATTACH] Obv: Alexander the Great with lion skin headress. Aqila countermark: Eagle with spread wings facing left, head turned to right (Aqila = Roman legionary eagle). REV: Indeterminate. Weight: 3.27 g Size: 17 mm Axis: Indeterminate I call it an Aquila becasue it very greatly resembles the images seen here on a web page that outlines how a reenactor created his facimile Aquila for LEGIO-IIII-SCYTHICA sigla. [URL]http://legio-iiii-scythica.com/images/roman_pdf/Roman_Aquila.pdf[/URL] Again, all help appreciated. - Broucheion[/QUOTE]
