Message:: [QUOTE="Ryro, post: 3899887, member: 91461"]Excellent toning on the ar and fantastic detail on the bronze!Great point. When checking AC search I found a 70/30% split, the majority sitting 168-167. There are also alternate reverses with grazing cattle and sheep. Most of those with the 148-147 time frame. However, with so many also sitting the later year and both having the same quaestor's name attached makes me think there is an answer, I just need time away from work to find it. Haha.And what's up with Rome keeping with the hero Perseus image on the coins? Just their way of reminding the now Macedonians (thanks for the clarification Gandy) of the defeat of their last King I suppose. Here's one before the final take over.
