manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 06/03/2024 2:01 pm It looks Roman to me just because of the reverse but it is very hard to tell from this - it could also be Thracian from the time of the Roman Empire which of course is Greek as you say. If you could DM me a better picture I can tell you if it's Greek as I am Greek and read ancient Greek but I just can't tell with this sort of picture. But I am sure that there are some experts here that probably know off the bat what it is - sadly my expertise in Greek coins is from Byzantium onwards rather than that ancient. However I would put the date between 100AD and 300AD for either of my suggestions ... again some expert on here could probably know right away. Hope that helps a bit. Report this Post to the Staff
