<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8130226, member: 110350&quot;][USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER], I think you and I have some similar tastes in ancient coins, and I love every single one on your list! But if I had to pick some as favorites, they would definitely include the snake cowboy (of course!), the Zodiac series drachm of Ares in Aries, the Domitian As with the musicians (I don&#039;t recall ever seeing a coin before with a similar scene of musicians playing, not counting coins showing Apollo and his lyre), and the one with the infant Ploutos sliding down the cornucopiae (thanks for the animation, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]!). And then there&#039;s the Civil War coin, and the aureus!</p><p><br /></p><p>I also find the contorniate to be fascinating; it&#039;s a great example of a numismatic type I find completely mysterious: who made them? For what purpose? Are there any articles on the subject that you can recommend?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
