[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 4560796, member: 104741"]Well, since you're asking... I've always liked these by Eukleidas: [ATTACH=full]1128995[/ATTACH] Syracuse tetradrachm. (picture Flickr) I love the Arethusa's 'underwater' hair on them: goes together beautifully with the dolphins and the myth. But they rarely show up in budget auctions these days... And since you're so kind to remove both the financial ánd the physical obtacles, I'd like to dig this one up myself in a hoard I've personally uncovered. And I would't mind finding a dekadrachm from Akragas in the hoard as well, hey, I'll even settle for a tet. And I'd throw in Athenian emergency gold stater from the Peleponesian War to top it off. Sweet dreams.... In the meantime I'll settle for one of these, at least they're affordable: [ATTACH=full]1129000[/ATTACH] Gela, tetras. (picture CNG archives). At least you get the hair... I've got my eye on one in an upcoming auction. Hope it works out... And Ryro, I see you've updated your avatar to your newly acquired Macedonian shield. Congrats! :-)[/QUOTE]
