<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2739552, member: 44132&quot;]I couldn&#039;t find much on the city in which this coin was struck, Birytis, except that it is an unlocated city in the Troad.&nbsp; So I had to look again to see what the Troad was and came up with the Troad or Troas is the historical name of the Biga Peninsula (modern Turkish: Biga Yarımadası) in the northwestern part of Anatolia, Turkey. The Troad gets its name from the Hittites&#039; name for the region, Taruiša.&nbsp; So not much as you can see.&nbsp; But I had to get this little gnome if, for no other reason, than, well, it looks like a garden gnome.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]625081[/ATTACH]</p><p>TROAS, BIRYTIS</p><p>AE12</p><p>OBVERSE: Head of Kaiberos left wearing pileus</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; Club of Herakles, BI PY to either side, all within laurel wreath</p><p>Struck at Birytis, Troas 3d century BC</p><p>1.14g, 12mm</p><p>D&amp;T220 // Depeyrot NC VII, 33 //SNG Cop 250// DeLaTour8145[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
