Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted March 4, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Here's to a speedy and complete recovery. Thanks for the quick response JAZ. And now, my favorite coin from JAZ Numismatics and I have a bunch of them. No, it's not the most expensive coin or the one in best condition but it has a most interesting reverse. If you could go back in time John you could enjoy the blessings of Zeus as you strolled through the grove of trees in the warm sunshine on the bank of the Euphrates, in the city with probably the most surviving mosaics of incredible artistry in that part of the Near East. I saw a very interesting documentary about Zeugma on the History Channel maybe 10 years ago. (Before all they showed was American Pickers and other junk). COMMAGENE, Zeugma. Philip I and II. 247-249 AD. Æ31, 19.2g; 6h Obv.: AYTOK K M IOYΛI ФIΛIΠΠOC CЄB; Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right. Rev.: ZЄYGM-ATЄΩN; Peribolos containing grove of trees, seen in perspective; tetrastyle temple in distance, draped figure within (Zeus?); in exergue, capricorn to right. ex-JAZ Numismatics Edited March 4, 2023 by Ancient Coin Hunter 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parthicus Posted March 4, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 4, 2023 Hey John, just want to add my voice in hoping you recover soon. I've had my own health struggles the last few years with a poorly-understood recurring form of pneumonia, so I definitely empathize. Meanwhile, here's one of the many coins I bought from you in your CoinTalk auctions, a coin which needs no introduction: 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerosmyfavorite68 Posted March 4, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 4, 2023 May you have a full recovery! I'm sorry to hear about the health troubles, but that's great news that the kidneys are coming back. February was a lousy health month for a lot of us, I guess. We all hope that each update will convey progressively better news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted March 4, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted March 4, 2023 John, you know you have my deepest sympathy for your health issues, and my very best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. Here are my two favorites of all the coins that I bought from you at the JAZ Numismatic auctions; they're two of my favorite Roman Republican coins, period. P. Nerva, with a voting scene on the reverse: M. Herennius, with what I've concluded is actually Aeneas with his father Anchises on the reverse: Plus, I sold a coin through you at your VCoins store, and was very pleased with the result! 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severus Alexander Posted March 5, 2023 · Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2023 So very sorry to hear of your awful stretch, John... I'm glad things are on the mend! My very best wishes for a full recovery. Here's one of my favourite ex JAZ coins: AR tetradrachm c. 100 BCE, probably issued by the pre-Kushan Yuezhi in Sogdiana; the type is based on a Bactrian issue of Euthydemos. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
