request for pics, Samos-Pythagoras issues
« on: April 22, 2019, 11:23:14 pm »
I have Samos and Samian Coins by Percy Gardner (1882), in it, it has two Roman Provincial/Greek Imperial coins that have poses of Pythagoras on them, but they only show one side each for each coin.  I was hoping that someone would have a picture of the coins, both sides.  Also, since the book is 1882, the pictures are not the best.  The description follows:

"Samos, V- Imperial, I. Perinthus" 10 and 11.

p. 80.
15  :Greek_Pi_3: :Greek_Upsilon_2: :Greek_Theta_2: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Gamma: :Greek_Omicron: :Greek_Rho: :Greek_Eta: :GreeK_Sigma:  :GreeK_Sigma: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Mu: :Greek_Iota: :Greek_Omega: :Greek_Nu:  Pythagoras seated, l., touch with wand globe on top of column; in his other hand scepter.
Trajan Decius (B.M.) Pl. V 10.  Julia Mamaea.

16  :GreeK_Sigma: :Greek_Alpha: :Greek_Mu: :Greek_Iota: :Greek_Omega: :Greek_Nu:  Pythagoras standing l., touches wand globe on top of column.
Commodus (Brera.) Pl. V 11.

If anybody knows of any additional Pythagoras coins from Roman Provincial, I would much appreciate hearing about them.  Also thanks in advance for any pictures of those described above.  i also understand there are other philosophers and poets depicted around this time

Kind Regards,

John (JBF)
