echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 7:49 pm There's a coin you don't see very often, very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 8:04 pm Wow, that is a nice coin. I haven't seen one of those before but I recognized the image from another coin that used it. Probably inspired by the great statue of Tyche with Orontes at her feet by Eutychides. I'll try to get one posted pretty quick. Report this Post to the Staff
jcmworld Pillar of the Community United States 567 Posts	Posted 06/09/2013 8:10 pm It's the only Byzantine coin with a pagan god's image. You really don't come across these too often, but I found two within the last two weeks. Report this Post to the Staff
