[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7622198, member: 75937"]Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you found it interesting. That's an interesting coin. It identifies the city in which it was minted -- Tarsus -- but also notes the fact that it was part of the Koinon of Cilicia. A decastyle temple, too -- reminds me of the dodecastyle temple on this Æ 19 in my collection I've had a terrible time attributing. I can't find it in RPC, Sear, Lindgren, or in any of the Mionnet or SNG volumes. ;) [ATTACH=full]1311663[/ATTACH] That's a gorgeous tet, [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER], with an interesting historical back-story, too. I'm glad you found my post helpful. What a cool coin, [USER=100070]@happy_collector[/USER], illustrating the pre-koinon coinage of Bithynia. That centaur reverse is very appealing. No wonder you acquired it for your collection![/QUOTE]
