<p>[QUOTE="Michael W. Bradley, post: 5373364, member: 114144"]Well: Yes And No. CAN YOU HELP ME ID THIS COIN? This was sold to me as a "Greek Janus Under Rome". 5.61 grams. 22mm. By a 'Ebay vendor. When I saw this topic I decided to post now as this is the only other coin that I cannot ID. I contacted the esteemed scholar (who has been talked about here). She was unable to identify it specifically said to post it to their forum. For some reason I got flagged-perhaps it was my fault as I may not have understood their site. Anyway she told me enough that it was far older than Rome in that what little of it remained of the reverse is obviously Demeter and stag. I think I can make out some tiny figures near the base, but she told me I was incorrect. The obverse may be Dioskouroi? too.</p><p>I hadn't searched for that as I was only interested in Roman. She suggested it may possibly be Alexander?? This was one of those 'Ebay' 'dealers' who had it covered in thick black lacquer. (My photography is bad I know and the spot in the middle is reflection). Any guess?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
