<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2648588, member: 42773"]I love a seafaring thread! As long as we're on the subject, I'll add a mystery coin that I found at NYINC. It's either an issue of Demetrios I or II, so it's not that big of a mystery. The obverse is off-center to be sure (Hey - how do y'all like my hairdo?), but the coin is in EF with a superb galley on the reverse. I can make out part of ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ∆ΗΜΗΤΡΙΟΥ at the top, and that should be a date directly under, which I'm having a hard time reading. Under the prow appears to be Phoenician, which would make it a Tyre issue, probably Demetrios I. Still working on it, but a bi-lingual Seleucid bronze is pretty cool. This is the first one I've seen...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]585487[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
