Another great Hadrian @Okidoki

I'm not sure which coin you're talking about. I have no Hadrian's featuring a horse.

 

any horse like ..

 

Nice greenie, have yet to get a pegasus coin. So many threads thats tempting me to buy more coins.

 

Thats a great coin @Okidoki
I have a couple pegasus but no Hadrian

 

Very nice coin, is there any info whether the coin had some connection to Corinth?

 

Very nice, @Okidoki. What a lovely patina!

"Post your horses!" Now *there's* a recipe for a monster thread (esp. for RR fans)... maybe we should stick to Pegasus?

Speaking of Corinth, I will start us off nice and early. AR Stater, 515-450 BC, Pegasos with curled wing flying left, koppa (or Λ?) below / Helmeted head of Athena right within incuse square. 8.2 g, 16mm.

Awesome coin!!

 

Dear AA,

i could not say, the Romans did copy very much from the Greeks .

 

They didn't call Hadrian 'Greekling' for no reason. Fantastic coin, Oki. I'd love one of these.

Here's one from Thyrrheion with a running Pegasus.

 

Shame about the obverse crack but nice Pegasus.

 

GREAT Dupondius @Okidoki ! Nice patina and I really like the Pegasus!

I have MANY horses and several Pegasus!
