<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryan McVay, post: 24481384, member: 117904&quot;]This next coin can fit into into two of my many sub-collections. Yes, sub-collections..I tend to collect a few types, get bored and then find a different type. But I have been fairly faithful to Men and Elagabalus. I do like coins of lunar and solar depictions and first started my ancient coin collecting with Nike coins. But soon realized that the Greek coins like Terina are, well, out of my budget range. Maybe someday! I digress- as usual.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, this coin fits in the Men tray and I can move it over to the &quot;wings on things&quot; or the Nike tray. </p><p>Here&#039;s another rarer coin type..at least I hope it is. Again, looking for any other references or auctions where you have seen the coin!</p><p><br /></p><p>Trapezopolis, Caria</p><p>Antoninus Pius period, 138-140 CE, 3.92g, 19.0mm</p><p>RPC IV.2 941</p><p>Obv. ΤΡΑΠƐΖΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ</p><p>Draped bust of Mên wearing laureate Phrygian cap, r.; behind his shoulders, crescent</p><p>Rev. ΔΙΑ ΠΟ [ΑΙ ΑΔΡΑϹ]ΤΟΥ</p><p>Winged Nemesis standing, l., plucking chiton, holding bridle</p><p>My comments: great bust of Men but soft strike on legend. Interesting that the dotted border is still visible but the letters is not.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1548972[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
