<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 3282917, member: 81887&quot;]I voted &quot;Oriental Greek&quot;, just because that&#039;s where the Parthian coins are usually listed in auction catalogues, but I would have preferred the option to vote for multiple areas.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been expanding recently into other areas of &quot;Greater Persia&quot; from the Achaemenids to early Islamic, and many of these coins have no discernible &quot;Greek&quot; influence.&nbsp; I also like coins that show multiple cultural groups interacting, and that&#039;s part of the appeal of this Phoenician bronze of the late Achaemenid period (c. 350 BC).&nbsp; The galley is extremely Phoenician, while the king in chariot could hardly be more Persian.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]867961[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
