<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3007329, member: 82549"]So, putting Doug's clues together, (and getting a headache re-examining my coin thank you very much), AND having been reassured by TIF that it is a tetradrachm and not some obscure denomination, meaning that it was minted much later, toward the end of the lifespan of the tetradrachm, I'm guessing that the 3rd letter is a gamma and that the ruler is Diocletian. The size and weight are about right. The letter I originally called [A?] would be a delta, but everything after that is a mystery to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it Diocletian?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
