<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Homer2, post: 24581728, member: 147282&quot;]Hi and thanks for having a look. I have just begun getting serious about focusing on ancient coins as they are a bit more common in Europe, and I love ancient history, mostly focused on Rome (East and West). </p><p><br /></p><p>Found this coin at a flea market this weekend and it seemed worth a go. Not sure what it was, but it was described as possibly Roman (pretty sure it isn&#039;t), which the guy bought from an Afghan in Thailand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is around 25mm, 15g, and seems bronze, similar if size to a Roman As. The figures are dressed in a Persian-like garb. There is a letter on the right which unlike most common alphabets. Almost like a stick figure.&nbsp; There is some arabic script on the figure which seems later. The figures appear to be wearing skirt-like clothing, which seem pseudo Mesopotamian. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be much appreciated. I seem to have caught the bug on collecting these. I have a very small Roman collection as well, but almost all of those have been positively ID&#039;d.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
