My example above has had a pretty rough life considering the sun is gone and whoever the magistrate was, their name is completely gone from the exergue. I was able to determine it was a Series V of the Rhodian silver and bronzes of Miletos based on it&#039;s tiny size and weight, as Series V is the tiniest of the five series listed. The condition that these are mostly found in contributes to the difficulty to determine just exactly who and when they were made. But, these bronzes from 4th century Miletos seem to be quite rare regardless of condition. It&#039;s a lion. It was cheap. What isnt to like about it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
