    I bought a lot of ten assorted Macedonian bronzes from Pecunem in 2013. Half I've given away but it was a fun group, half Philip II and half Alexander III.

    Here's one I kept:

    I guess I never shot good pictures of the rest but there is at least one left/right.

    I wish we knew what those marks meant - so many of these can only be attributed to an "uncertain mint."
