Yes, I'm from the republic of Georgia :)) I bought them on ebay, but there are some nice local coins in Georgia as well. I try to get them from time to time. I'll try to get a better pic for this bull coin or any other info for this matter. |

By "fallen horseman" coin you mean Constantius II right?
I think I identified the bull coin, it's from Neapolis Campania; Apollo and the man-headed bull, but I still need your thoughts guys, whether my deduction is right or not :))

Those types were low value issues and probably looked not so better when they were struck. You can find out more on this type here: http://www.forumancientcoins.com/nu...%20reparatioWhat is the postal system like in Tblisi, do you collect all your mail at the Post Office or it is delivered to you? |

DeeKay, That's one possibility I was looking at. Can you present a better picture with the animal standing upright?
Also are there any letters on the coin you can see?

Can you just take a picture of that coin? I'm think it looks more like a horse, if so it could be from Carthage.

Thank you very much for the info and for the link :) I'm still a newbie in this sphere and they are the first ones for me so I still wanted them to be as good as possible, but I'll listen to your advice. Such purchases from ebay or from Amazon are being delivered by a private company. The package will be sent to their head office and I must collect is from there. So its basically the same as collecting from a post office |

I enhanced the picture of the coin a bit, best I could do.   The reverse looks like a horse to me. |

Mystery coin:
Castulo, Iberia (Pre Roman Spain ) 2nd century BC. Apollo? Right/ Bull reverse crescent moon above.
About 5 grams bronze. I'm on my phone, but if you 'google' that you should find what you seek. A pleasing coin, worth of collection.
To say carthage would not be far off in the time the coin was circulated, Rome was defeated by Punic Carthage.

MartiVltori thanks for the encouragement! echizento really appreciate the enlargement work you did there :)) Ancientnoob Thanks for the tip! so the case is closed? Sorry to bother you guys once again but I want to recheck whether I got everything you told me right. I'm uploading the same pic where I named these coins according to your tips and numbered them. Could you tell me if my naming is right wrong? Also, I marked the coins which are not 100% identified with ? or ?! please help me to clear up these obscurities as well :)) http://s14.postimg.org/tiqtmx729/er...arqmeuli.jpgEdited by DeeKay
