<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3298545, member: 85693&quot;]Actually, my first coin of 2019 was somewhat misattributed.&nbsp; This was a $10 &quot;buy it now&quot; on eBay listed as Macedonia, Pella.&nbsp; The legend didn&#039;t quite match and I discovered it was issued by a Roman Quaester Gaius Publilius Tamios, soon after the Romans annexed Macedonia. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Talk was very helpful in attributing this, especially John Anthony&#039;s post from a while back:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ae-of-macedon-as-roman-province-gaius-publius-tamios.272354/#post-2335460" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ae-of-macedon-as-roman-province-gaius-publius-tamios.272354/#post-2335460">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/ae-of-macedon-as-roman-province-gaius-publius-tamios.272354/#post-2335460</a>&nbsp; (Thank you, John!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Not a beautiful specimen, but from what I&#039;ve seen, considerably scarcer than the usual Pella issues:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]873357[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Macedonia, Bottiaia District </b></p><p><b>Roman Province&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Æ 18</b></p><p><b>Gaius Publilius Tamios, </b></p><p><b>Quaestor (c. 168-166 BC)</b></p><p><b>Macedonian mint </b></p><p>Helmeted head of Athena right / ΓΑΙΟΥ ΤΑ[ΜΙΟΥ]; Cow standing right; monogram TB beneath.</p><p>SNG Cop 1322; AMNG 210.</p><p>(9.40 grams / 18 mm)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
