<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1911142, member: 31620&quot;]I like Athenian owls and I have developed a taste for their ancient imitations too. I have an Egyptian imitation tetradrachm and have been looking for an Arabian imitation that I could afford. I found the following ugly specimen within my limited budget and thought that I would get it despite it&#039;s many shortcomings. One thing in it&#039;s favour is that it still has all the attributes to allow it to be attributed. It is a little light but this could easily be accounted for by the corrosion.</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Arabia Felix: Himyarites and Sabaeans (ca. 3rd Century BC) AR Drachm </b></p><p>Obv:- Helmeted head of Athena right; Sabaean &quot;N&quot; (mark of value) on cheek.</p><p>Rev:- Owl standing right, head facing; olive sprig and crescent behind, AΘE before</p><p>BMC 24 ff.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.36 gms</p><p>Max diameter 15.51 mm </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_Arabia_1a_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
