<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2526792, member: 77077&quot;]Here is a Tetradrachm of Rhegium I picked up the Summer FUN show.&nbsp; I sent it off to David Sear for peace of mind.&nbsp; David gave it the thumbs up and called it a &quot;good example of this powerfully rendered type&quot;.&nbsp; It has a slightly blobby appearance which David also said was normal for very high relief issues. This coin is the highest relief I have by far. Both sides are very high relief, but the lion is just ridiculous. Most people are drawn to it more than any other ancient I have I think because it is so 3d. I am trying to get a good picture that shows this aspect of it off well but depth of field is always lacking.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]539479[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruttium, Rhegium, AR Tetradrachm circa 415/410-387 BC</p><p>17.12 gm, 22.6 mm.</p><p>Obverse: Lion’s scalp facing</p><p>Reverse: Rhegion before laureate head of Apollo right, olive branch behind.</p><p>Herzfelder 102 (D60/R87) citing 5 specimens from this die combination, BMC Italy p.375, 25, Sear 501.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post your coins of Rhegium.</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
