<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 8295050, member: 85693&quot;]I want to chime in with a big, hearty thank you for sharing that Simonetta book.&nbsp; Thank you [USER=15481]@svessien[/USER] !&nbsp; I have five low-grade drachms of Ariobarzanes and I&#039;ve had only a semi-successful time attributing them.&nbsp; But with those images from Simonetta you shared, I have been able to nail &#039;em all down (I think so, anyway).&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll spare the Forum the whole plug-ugly line-up, but here is one that was a problem for me, what with the date being off the flan.&nbsp; Thanks to those Simonetta images, I could add a date based on the monogram type (and this is somewhat like the OP posted by [USER=80952]@ambr0zie[/USER]).&nbsp; This could be a fourree, I suppose, but I am thinking this is planchet laminations: </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1466763[/ATTACH] </p><p><b>Cappadocia&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Drachm </b></p><p><b>Ariobarzanes I Philoromaios</b></p><p><b>Year KH (28) (68/67 B.C.)</b></p><p>Diademed, elderly head right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΡIOBAΡZANOY ΦIΛOΡΩMAIOY around Athena standing left, holding Nike, spear and shield, AI-like monogram in left field, [KH in exergue].</p><p>Simonetta 38a.</p><p>(3.79 grams / 16 mm )</p><p>eBay Jan. 2018 $15.50</p><p><b>Attribution Note:</b>&nbsp; AI monogram can be Simonetta 38a or 38e.&nbsp; Since 38a has more of a serif on the I, that is what I went with here.&nbsp; KH only date listed for</p><p>this monogram. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again, [USER=15481]@svessien[/USER] - I couldn&#039;t have done it without you (and Simonetta).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
