ambr0zie Posted May 24, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 24, 2022 You know this is not my area, @Ryro, but I wanted an example in the album to be representative for the type. You helped me in clarifying the attribution. Philip III Arrhidaeus Uncertain mint in Western Asia Minor. (323-317 BCE)/ Or Antigonus Gonatas (288-277 BCE) Bronze Æ Half-bronze unit, (PB, 16) No. v19-0059 16mm, 12 hours. 4.11g.

Roman Collector Posted May 24, 2022 · Patron Share Posted May 24, 2022 I have a Perseus around here somewhere ... I didn't get it because of the Macedonian shield, though. I bought it because it's got a cool harpa on the reverse: Perseus, 179-168 BC Greek AE 14.8 mm; 2.77 g Macedonia Obv: Macedonian shield; wheel-ornament in center. Rev: ΒΑ-ΠΕ above and below harpa, star below.

AncientNumis Posted May 26, 2022 · Member Share Posted May 26, 2022 Yeah me too! It would sure be quite useful if members accidentally post messages twice or something, would be a good idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryro Posted May 26, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 Nope. There isn't a delete function. I keep trying it on @Alegandron 's posts, but they're still there😜 And Gandy, not only did I have to get one but I got mine from AMCC1! And it's still one of my favorite RRs: T. Quinctius Flamininus, 126 BCE, AR denarius. Rome, 3.91g, 18mm. Obv: Helmeted bust of Roma right; flamen's cap behind; XVI ligate below chin Rev: The Dioscuri riding right, each holding a couched lance, stars above; Macedonian shield between T-Q below; ROMA in exergue. Crawford 267/1 The key feature of the type – the Macedonian shield on the reverse – is very clear on this example. Issued by a descendant of the more famous Flamininus, a philhellene who prosecuted the second Macedonian War against Philip V and proclaimed freedom for Greece.
