<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pavlos, post: 7805370, member: 96635&quot;]Thank you! I really like that the cult figure includes the temple with it, nice coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks Ryro! That coin was a steal and great it is in your collection, nice and clear coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you Curt for your nice words! I was not aware of it as well on the first place. Normally you think of beautiful statues of cult figures. This is just a mask of olive wood <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Apparently important enough to have it featured on their bronze and silver coins.</p><p>Lovely denarius, also here I really like that it shows a temple as well, seems to be more common on Roman coins than Greek coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting coin, the cult statue of Artemis seems to dominate Asia Minor, I have come across a lot of cult statues of Artemis on Roman provincial coinage of Ephesos.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you [USER=90248]@Spaniard[/USER], and a great looking coin you got there. How is your Greek coin collection going of all the different gods?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Very interesting reverse, thank you for sharing. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you [USER=71599]@ancientone[/USER]! Glad to see some more coins of Mytilene and the Greek islands. Your top coin is the same type as mine, a nice example and it seems it was continued to be struck in the Roman times.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Wonderful and clear coin! I really like the head of Helios as well, I am quite fond of his radiate crown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
