FuzzyDuck Valued Member United Kingdom 106 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 11:56 am Does anybody have any ideas on these? I have started collecting roman, and although these aren't... They peaked my interest. At a guess I'd say the horse is maby Greek, but I literally know nothing on the subject. The other I assume is much later. Any general help would be great. Many thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 12:09 pm The horse is from Kyme (in Aeolis). The other side is a "one-handled cup" - to its left is a monogram or symbol which will help you find a reference ID. This city has a wildwinds page, so maybe start there. The other coin is a byzantine trachy - a 'cup coin'. I wont pretend to know anything about them, hopefully someone better versed will be able to narrow down the emperor. Report this Post to the Staff
