<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1706509, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;ll use this thread to post my Nabataean lead tesserae. Some of you that follow my pursuit of these pieces know that I was thwarted the last time around, but I have every assurance from the dealer in Jerusalem that this one is on the way. I&#039;ve bought pieces from him before, and have never been disappointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attribution is Hoover, K group. Obv. Laureate head of Zeus-Hadad; Rev. Charging bull left, linear border.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dating is uncertain. Possibly during the reign of Aretas IV, but corroborating evidence is needed from excavations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I could go on at length about these tesserae if anyone&#039;s interested, or not...</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a small piece: 13mm, 1.5g, so you get a small pic. One of these days I&#039;ll post a &quot;nice&quot; coin, but not today. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://postimage.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://postimage.org/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://s8.postimg.org/cgaoxfzqt/lead4both2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
