[QUOTE="Gil-galad, post: 2528980, member: 44154"][ATTACH=full]540303[/ATTACH] This is a strange coin that I'm still working on but I'm getting closer to figuring it out. Still trying to track down some references but some think this coin is from Adramytion which is a city that Paul visited 53-57 AD, on his way to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mytilene']Mytilene[/URL] on the island of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbos']Lesbos[/URL]. Others think it's a imitation but I wonder that if it is a imitation, is it possible that this Adramytion coin I have is a imitation of that city. Who knows, I don't. [ATTACH=full]540304[/ATTACH] Fritze, Mysien 172 ("Phil. II"); Kraft Systeme, plate 30, no. 13; Mionnet V, 46 ("Phil. I"); Waddington 629 ("Phil. II") etc. I'm going to do a full attribution later, if I can and as I usually do. Other than this coin I don't have a lot of Roman Provincial coins yet.[/QUOTE]
