[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 4519589, member: 82322"]The Greek numeral joke is OK but it is very clever that you "take a stab" at 50 Cent! (He was stabbed in 2000). I don't have the letter combos for the Aspendos shield/woman bronzes. For the Medusa/caduceus bronzes the letters are Ο-Σ, Ο-Θ, Σ-Κ, Σ-Ι, Π-Ρ, Ο, and (dubious?) F-Δ.

For example, the Medusa/caduceus bronze with Σ-Κ is attributed to Skiathos in Thessaly in [I]SNG Copenhagen[/I] and [I]Sear's Greek Coins and Their Values[/I] even though Imhoof-Blumer had attributed them to Aspendos by 1901.[/QUOTE]
