<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5147466, member: 97383"]R.C., Your top 10 Is an interesting & eclectic assortment of of coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! My favorite is #6, the hefty bronze of Gordian III from Antioch. I remember reading the Featured article on the coin & posting my only example from Antioch-Pisidia on your thread <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The reverse on your coin is exceptional with fascinating symbolism. I found it odd that a male would represent a god of the moon when most cultures would choose a female goddess to represent the moon <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My 2nd favorite would be #2, the denarius of Faustina I. Again, you presented an excellent Featured article detailing the extensive research you did on the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The photo you presented in this thread shows the coin with much deeper toning than the photo in the Featured article. Has the coin toned that much in-between postings <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />? My 3rd favorite is #5, the tiny Greek bronze coin. The artwork on that coin is exceptional considering the size of the coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 5147466, member: 97383"]R.C., Your top 10 Is an interesting & eclectic assortment of of coins :D! My favorite is #6, the hefty bronze of Gordian III from Antioch. I remember reading the Featured article on the coin & posting my only example from Antioch-Pisidia on your thread :). The reverse on your coin is exceptional with fascinating symbolism. I found it odd that a male would represent a god of the moon when most cultures would choose a female goddess to represent the moon o_O. My 2nd favorite would be #2, the denarius of Faustina I. Again, you presented an excellent Featured article detailing the extensive research you did on the coin ;). The photo you presented in this thread shows the coin with much deeper toning than the photo in the Featured article. Has the coin toned that much in-between postings o_O?
