[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8198003, member: 91461"]Absolutely love the coin and the question:artist::pompous: Monograms can be fun to unfold. This one is "BAP" or as we would say " BOP", as in the Romans:punch: BOPPED the Macedonians:jimlad: and this is sanctioned and minted by someone or someones Roman or extremely pro Roman with those monogram. [ATTACH=full]1436196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1436197[/ATTACH] And the TRUTHE is that these were all minted in the first Meris in Amphipolis, THE largest mint in Macedon:singing: The second meris is more rare but still made loads of these silver coins. No coins from the third meris are known to exist. Here's a rare coin from the fourth meris; only in bronze: [ATTACH=full]1436198[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
