This thread has been a stimulus for me since its first inception: try to find new Cointalk horizons, new Roman Provincial (or Greek Imperial) cities, new mints for the statistics! Here&#039;s one that (I believe) has not been shown before: Grimenothyrae in Phrygia. Could not find the place on a map, but Phrygia is in the midlands of Anatolia, now Turkey. Not far from Ankara without any doubt. There are <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/phrygia/grimenothyrae/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/phrygia/grimenothyrae/t.html" rel="nofollow">five types on Wildwinds</a>, this type too, but my Senate personification has long tresses. Otherwise it&#039;s the same style, same celator no doubt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Grimenothyrae, pseudo-autonomous coinage featuring the Senate of the town. Obv. the personification of the Senate, a long-haired and sharp-nosed, handsome man (laurel crown, draped).
