The first magistrate Kointos is in the Greek rendered form of the Roman name Quintus. Kointos appears again on a post-Sullan coin. The last pro-Roman coin before the Sullan siege of Athens. This type is drachm die- linked to the next (pro Mithridates) Griffin coin of Apellicon. Why is Roma being crowned-a reference to the social war, some victory in Macedonia over the Celts...who knows![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
