<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2610511, member: 19463"]I thought this seemed like a great idea for a thread so I stole it. Crime does not pay. I had almost all the first third typed and accidentally erased it. This time, you get the images and the text will fill in as edits. It requires three posts to comply with the CT limit of ten images per post. While I'm working on the labels, anyone who wishes can play the ID game with the pictures. Selecting coins that are firmly dated and not overlapping centuries made some periods hard. Not having coins of interest in some periods did not help either. I tried to mix it up a bit but someone will be offended because I left out their favorites.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>6th century BC</b></p><p><b>Sybaria, Lucania</b></p><p><b>AR Nomos</b></p><p><b><b>Obv</b>: bull</b></p><p><b><b>Rev</b>: bull incuse</b></p><p><b><b>Date</b>: 530-510 BC</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]570988[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><b>5th century BC</b></b></p><p><b><b><b>Athens, Attica</b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b>AR obol</b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>Obv</b>: Athena</b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>Rev: o</b>wl</b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>Date</b>: 480-460 BC?</b></b></b></p><p><b><b>[ATTACH=full]570989[/ATTACH] </b></b></p><p><b><b><br /></b></b></p><p><b><b><br /></b></b></p><p><b><b><b>4th century BC</b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>Alexander the Great</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>AR tetradrachm</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>Obv</b>: Herakles</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>Rev</b>: Zeus</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>Date</b>: 334-323 BC</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b>[ATTACH=full]570990[/ATTACH] </b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><br /></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><br /></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b>3rd century BC</b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Rome</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>AE Aes Grave sextans</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Obv</b>: Turtle</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Rev</b>: wheel</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Date</b>: 265-242 BC</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]570991[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>2nd century BC</b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>Pergamum, Eumenes II</b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>AR tetradrachm</b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b>Obv</b>: Philetairos</b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b>Rev: Athena</b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b>Date</b>: 197-159 BC</b></b></b></b></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]570992[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><b>1st century BC</b></b></p><p><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>C.
