[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 4557979, member: 106483"]I know they are not directly Roman, but the Roman copies of the original Thasos types led to the Thracians copying the copies. So the Romans are responsible for these artistic representations. The top one artist was a ace at the obverse but got bored with the reverse and the second was vice versa. [IMG]https://lot-images.sixbid.com/gerhard-hirsch-nachfolger/antike-mnzen-7333/kelten-donaukelten-imit-d-tetradr-5994018-S.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://lot-images.sixbid.com/gerhard-hirsch-nachfolger/antike-mnzen-7333/kelten-donaukelten-imit-d-tetradr-5994019-XL.jpg[/IMG] I might be NewStyleKing but if I ever collected another "series" it would have to be the latter "Thasos Imitatives" They are so wild. Propokov and Paunov seem to be the experts on these. Now back to Rome.[/QUOTE]
