<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JPD3, post: 8276488, member: 116216&quot;]The reverse of your Tetradrachm showing a Phoenix reminds me of a Bronze Numidian Crane that sold at Christie&#039;s a decade ago. The Egyptians called their Phoenix Benu or Bennu. It was associated with the primordial waters (the Nile). It is often confused with the Ibis. Two separate birds with separate followings/cults.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1461278[/ATTACH]</p><p>As far as your question about the differing numbers listed for your coins. It seems very possible that numbers might have been transposed or substituted, considering the magnitude of the collection. One of our members had a post about 4 yrs. ago concerning Dattari&#039;s collection and Adriano Savio&#039;s catalog. Hope it helps.</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tiberius-obol-ex-dattari.286208/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
