[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 4305641, member: 96635"]Wow you got a great amount of amazing looking tetradrachms! I love them all. That's a very nice drachm, I like his distinct "old-man" portrait. Nice drachm [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] and cool bronze coins, the condition of the one with Dionysos is amazing! Thank you for sharing your nice bronze coins [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER], I still need to get that type from Athens. The Romans were just too powerful at that time, with many battle hardened soldiers in the legions of Sulla. Sad that the city got totally devastated. I like that type and the cool story behind it. That's a great looking drachm, I got two of them just because of the cool portrait and that it is a son of Mithridates.

[B]Reverse:[/B] BAΣΙΛΕΩΣ APIAPAΘOY EYΣEBOYΣ, Athena Nikephoros standing left; monogram to inner left, Δ (date) in exergue. [B]Reference[/B]: Simonetta 3a Very nice coin. There are so many varieties of the bronze coinage in the Pontic Kingdom, some very rare ones as well. Mithridates did a good job creating a big flux of bronze coins in many towns. Most of the towns before Mithridates lost their autonomy when Pharnaces I was on the throne. Very nice coins you got there. Thank you [USER=82194]@dadams[/USER]![/QUOTE]
