<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 8262114, member: 15481&quot;]I bought 8 coins at the Leu web auction, and received them earlier this week. One of them was a slightly flawed cista mystica from Laodicea, my first of the type:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1457243[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>PHRYGIA. Laodikeia. Circa 133/88-67 BC. Cistophorus (Silver, 25 mm, 12.40 g, 12 h), Diodoros, magistrate. Cista mystica from which snake coils; around, ivy wreath with fruits. <i>Rev.</i> Two snakes coiled around a bow case; to left, ΛAO; above, ΔΙΟ/ΔΩΡΟΥ; to right, B above winged kerykeion. BMC 9. SNG Copenhagen 487. SNG von Aulock 3800. Harshly cleaned and with some corrosion on the reverse<i>, otherwise,</i> good very fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
