PHRYGIA Cotiaeum

Hey, 2021, isn't over yet. There is still coins to buy and post.

One of my newest is a Roman Provincial of Valerian I that I picked up from @Brian Bucklan .

I didn't know you could get the trio of healers all on one coin. Great find!

 

It's hard to see the third figure, even on ones in better condition.

 

Rad coin! And nobody wants to see that little weirdo Telesphoros anyway.

 

Here's a Telesphoros from the time of Antoninus Pius.

 

Nice coins, @Ryro & @JayAg47

I admit I didnt know much about Telesphoros till I got this coin.
