<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3275649, member: 56859"]Perhaps you intended for us to post Roman only, but here are various denominations of Klazomenai "Pigasus" coins from c. 500-400 BCE <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/klazopigasusdenominationset_edited-jpg.771123/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The denomination nomenclature seems to be unsettled. The largest coin is 6.77 gm. I've seen it called a drachm, didrachm, and stater. The next largest coin is 3.33 gm and I've seen it called a drachm and a hemidrachm. The next two are the most common and are usually listed as diobols but I've also seen them called tetrobols (?!, "tetrobol" must be a mistake); the weights of the coins shown are 1.0 gm and 1.2 gm, respectively. Lastly is a 0.27 flake of a coin, usually called a hemiobol which makes sense given the weights of the diobols.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
