[QUOTE="Blake Davis, post: 26138765, member: 91820"]I think I have the answer - and it is something I had addressed in a previous thread. I have two books: "Contributions to the Study of the Earliest Anepigraphic Coins Minted in Southeastern Thrace"by Stavret Topalev, Peter Balabanov and S. Stoyanov, and the other is a very lengthy title " and "Contributions to the Study of the Early Thracian Tribal Coinage and its relations to the Odrysians and Odrysian Kingdom During the 6th - 4th Century BC." Like many books on ancient coins the readership of these books is probably confined to a small number of researchers. But the books are fascinating and reflect careful comprehensive work. There is some similarity in the books to the types I put up as well as a few I gave away. The lettered coins appear to be of Seuthes I, an Odrysian ruler. Other I have with an amphora are also likely or possibly Odrysian - I wonder if there is a way to contact the authors of the books. I had some other coins that I thought were Odrysian but I thought these were more likely Greek despite the odd flans. You have to be detective to solve these mysteries. I am definitely not 100% sure about these as they do not look completely like the coins in the books but who is to say the books are complete? Also these need to be cleaned better but that is going to be difficult. Anepigraphic = without lettering or inscription.[/QUOTE]
