<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 8128660, member: 91461&quot;]Savoca STILL put on their bi-weekly auction, despite it being Christmas. What kind of auction house ignores that it&#039;s one of the most holi holidays of the year!?</p><p>Soooo, I got myself some pretty dope new (slightly used) coins from Savoca for the holiday.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Just a fun MSC from Antigonos Monophthalmus with a chubby gorgon and a phat kerykeion:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415796[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Still addressing what the character is under the helmet, but don&#039;t think it&#039;s the traditional thunderbolt.

NOT from Lesbos like you might think at first glance. She is an early coin of Macedon/Thrace. Which many would&#039;ve surely labeled as barbarian back in civilized Greece.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415813[/ATTACH]</p><p>And that mean looking hog with the studded collar isn&#039;t changing any minds!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":jimlad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1415795[/ATTACH]</p><p>Thraco Macedonian Region.
