<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7929478, member: 86498&quot;]A couple of years ago I started a project to see which coins I used when answering posts on CT. In doing this I attempted to stick to a few parameters, the principle one being that I would restrict&nbsp; featuring a coin to about once a year. The first year was basically a wash out. My system was much too complicated and I was unable to see what I had been doing at the same time the previous year.&nbsp; In the second year I simplified it. Thus I can say that last year I featured about 320 coins. I featured something like 130 Greek coins and about 190 Roman coins. Thus i showcased roughly a little over a third of my Greek and almost two thirds of my Roman.</p><p>Recently I saw a post on coins featuring the image of Tyche. I responded to that post but as I was looking for something suitable I saw this coin.</p><p>Laodikeia Ar Tetratrachm 63-62 BC Obv Turreted and veiled head of Tyche right. Rv.

Again the reverse on this coin does pay homage to the royal Seluekid issues which were minted at the same standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
