Adding a few more to my main gallery. 2 I have had a while and haven't been good at updating and 1 I just added.

First are two denarius with one from L. Thorius Balbus

the second which was on my desired list from C Poblicius with Roma and Hercules strangling the Nemean lion.

The third today is a Provincial of Hadrian from Alexandria. It was a spur of the moment purchase but am thrilled with it. Love the clear Ibis on the reverse.

Need to pick up my pace to get things added however when I get working on my coins I get easily distracted and never get anything done.

Wow I am finally getting around to post some coins to my gallery. It will probably be a mish mash of different areas I have been collected.

I have some more Campgates to add, more Greek, more provincials and more to my Gallienus Zoo collection.

Tonight I am just starting to fill in some holes. Coins I have had but for one reason of another havent added them to my gallery.

First off 3 different ones that I picked up through the Forum Auctions.

My first non Provincial for Trebonianus Gallus

another Probus in decent condition

and finally a denarius of Marcus Aurelius

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the Campgates. I feel my collection is growing nicely.

Well tonight I am showing off 5 of my additions to my Greek Collection. Obviously from all the help I ask for in the identification forum I am not as confident in this area in attributing them, so feel free if you see any mistakes to correct me.

First off are three city-states coins featuring elephants,

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-166259

after the elephants we need a lion and Lysimachos' of Thrace obliges

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-166260

Finally tonight I have a Centaur reverse of Prusias II a King of Bithynia.

https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-166257

Hope you enjoy. Tomorrow night I will dip into some Provincial coins I have picked up.

Man I really need to pay attention. I just noticed I posted the Serrated Antiochos VI Elephant one back in Feb. Well, it deserves a double look anyways. Have a great night.
