Lesbos Confronted Boars head obol question
« on: February 14, 2022, 12:11:29 am »
I have noticed that some of these have letters above the boars heads and was wondering if there was any literature on them.
any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

See Lorenzo Lazzarini, "A contribution to the study of the Archaic Billion coinage of Lesbos", in Tselekas, P., (ed.), "Coins in the Aegean Islands. Proceedings of the Fifth Scientific Meeting, Mytilene, 16-19 September 2006", Obolos 9, Athen 2010, vol. 1, pp. 83-111:

He also writes a bit about these letters on the coins of Lesbos.
