[QUOTE="Mat, post: 4721414, member: 21445"]^Thank you. I was notified this morning on forvm that my Pharsalos is attributed wrong & I guess a bit special because [B]it's signed by the engraver[/B], which would be my first ancient to be so. Pretty cool. So the attribution is now: THESSALY, Pharsalos. Late 5th-mid 4th century BC AR Drachm O: Helmeted head of Athena right, sphinx on bowl; T/Θ behind neck guard R: Warrior on horseback right, wearing petasos, holding mace overhead; T in exergue; all within incuse square. 5.59g 19mm Lavva 144 (V68/R84); BCD Thessaly II 645. You can just make out the sphinx head on the helmet in the bright area of the obverse. Even humble ancients can turn to a surprise, that's[B] why I appreciate comments over likes[/B] or generally being ignored thread wise. You never know who may help or point something out.[/QUOTE]
