Identification Help - Ancient and Medieval Coins / Unidentified small Greek bronze help

« Last post by propraetoris79 on Today at 08:24:29 am »

Hello !

I wold like to your opinion on this coin. It look like a small bronze emission from Salamis (Cyprus) under Phillip III Arrhidaeus but
instead of Herakles head on averse, I see Apollo head. I can't find this type on internet.

11 mm, 1.75 g.

Forum numizmatyki antycznej po polsku / Dochody i nierówności w Imperium

« Last post by Lech Stępniewski on Today at 07:13:43 am »

Podesłano mi taką mapkę Imperium w chwili śmierci Oktawiana Augusta. Chyba nie wzbudzi obfitszej dyskusji, bo co tu rzec na te dolary oraz relacje między prowincjami. Dolary mocno abstrakcyjne, relacje z grubsza do przyjęcia, ale i bez tej mapki wiadomo, że Italia i Egipt dużo zamożniejsze niż Galia i Germania.

Ale oczywiście proszę się nie krępować i jeśli u kogoś inwencja spekulatywna się rozkręci, to wykroję ją na nowy wątek.

Seals and Tesserae / Re: For sharing the image of a perfectly drawn peacock...

A nominative legend is extremely rare, and the name and titles and approximate date are the same. So yes, may very well be the same individual, but we can never be 100% of course.

Based on this seal, we may also read LEW, I think, as long as we presume a nominative.

So many letters on a tiny 11 mm format

But the question I’m asking myself at this point is: am I allowed to see the Phi?
