    When it comes to coins of the Roman Empire, along with Greek kings and cities, there is certainly a large and varied selection of issues shown on Wildwinds. In fact, it is one of the first places I go to when searching for some general information about any particular coin and I definitely want to give kudos to Dane Kurth for all her work

    In all the years I've been using the site I had not come across a coin from a Greek city not mentioned on the site ... until now.

    Kassope Epeiros Ae ; 342-325 BC : 19mm, 6.2gms

    Obv: KA(ΣΣΩΠAIΩN); Head of Aphrodite right wearing stephane
    Rev: Dove flying right within laurel wreath

    I have a feeling some of the folks here may have coins from other Greek cities that aren't shown. Maybe Dane can use this info to update the site.

    COOL IDEA @Brian Bucklan !

    This is not Greek, nor really Italian. They are not sure where the Etrurians truly imigrated from: Asia, Greek Islands, or even from Central Europe.

    I could not find this in Wildwinds... perhaps I missed it:
