<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryan McVay, post: 24621210, member: 117904&quot;]Again, this was another coin I was not expecting to win. But luck was with me.</p><p>Deiotaros, King of Galatia, Pharnakeia. AE. 63-40B.C.</p><p>2.72g, 15mm. Ref.: Imhoof KM 6; SNG von Aulock 8719; Newell 1</p><p><br /></p><p>Obv.: Draped bust of Mên right, wearing Phrygian cap with stars, crescent on shoulders.</p><p>Rev.: AHTΡ monogram between crossed cornucopiae.</p><p>Now the thing with this coin is that you may find a bust listed as Attis. This is NOT Attis. I found no image of Attis wearing a cap with stars and never sitting on a crescent. This is Men.</p><p>Secondly, I found this attributed to Pharnakeia but that is in Pontos, not Galatia. I am looking for opinions or references that can confirm or identify the city.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1565738[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1565739[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
