[QUOTE="OutsiderSubtype, post: 4540004, member: 112457"]This is my first one, a Ptolemy III from Tyre that I picked up at a recent Savoca auction. Ptolemy III Euergetes, r. 246-222 BC. Tyre mint indicated by the club mint-mark left of the eagle. The Ptolemies controlled Tyre until around 200 BC. I don't really know more about these than what I can read on [URL='http://ptolemybronze.com/']ptolemybronze.com[/URL]. I think it is Sv708 and an obol. [ATTACH=full]1123988[/ATTACH] The reverse legend is very clear which is why I bid on it: [ATTACH=full]1123989[/ATTACH] I want to get one of the really massive octobols but I haven't seen one I like at a price I want to pay.[/QUOTE]
