Niespecjalnie nowe (lipiec 2020) i dogłębne (w końcu to NG), ale dość ładnie zebrane parę ciekawostek z tego, co się dzieje w ostatnich latach w Pompejach:

On the reverse you can read    for the seleucid year CΞΡ = 166, corresponding to 147/6 BC. So the coin is from Alexander I Balas: http://numismatics.org/sco/id/sc.1.1838

It is probably this one from Anazarbos: https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/6/7289

Trajan as, scarce and interesting type with shield and weapons:

A very rare as of Gordian III with an interesting reverse scene:

And a classic, a big beefy sestertius of Nero, Temple of Janus reverse:

Thanks for looking! And thanks for all of your previous comments and compliments, by the way - I appreciate it!  :)

Hi carp,

The legend at the top of the reverse isn't clear, but it may be "...ANAZ...HTP...". This would be a reference to Anazarbus.

Hi carp,

Based on the "AMK" at the bottom of the reverse, it may be Cilicia, possibly Tarsos.

Hi carp,

The reverse is not simply a "coiled serpent." It is actually multiple (3?) coiled serpents pulling a chariot.

Hi GG,

The reverse looks like a palm branch. Your coin is so far gone that you may never definitively attribute it. There are some possibilities.

Here is one possibility from my own collection (third coin):

Here is another example of that same type:

This may or may not be a correct attribution.
