<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3215068, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, there are hundreds of Pius drachm types and many relatively dull types compared to the interesting ones which tend also to be the rarities.&nbsp; I feel deficient not owing an eagle but I do have others that are more or less dull.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most common but not quite as common as the same type from Hadrian is the river god Nilus dated year 13 spelled out L TPICKAI.&nbsp; Where I am confused by this coin is the type regularly shows the Nilometer reading desired for a good crop which is 16 cubits.&nbsp; The usual legend is L TPICKAIIϚ but my coin is missing one of the I&#039;s.&nbsp; I wonder how to interpret this one. Dull type? Confusing?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]835821[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Athena just standing there is a bit dull but I don&#039;t pass up drachms with any eye appeal when cheap.&nbsp; Is this Emmett 1474?&nbsp; Why is it listed with &quot;(shield)&quot;?&nbsp; Certainly he chose to list enough minor variations with separate numbers that it was not necessary to show this as shield optional??? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]835822[/ATTACH] </p><p>My last one would be less dull if it were in better condition.&nbsp; Serapis is seated in a temple.&nbsp; I&#039;m calling this Emmett 1668 but would appreciate help with the year date only partially shown. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]835823[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
