Bottom left and middle, do they look like Augustus to you?

Tiberius/Octavian, very difficult to distinguish for me sometimes.

I am hoping that the detail will be better in hand, I can't make out much of the legend. Found some possibles in Tiberius but not exact.

Thanks guys. Chrsmat I can't find it under Octavian, Augustus or Tiberius. I will just have to wait until next week and try and trace it through the legend.

Very nice. The first thing that comes to mind for the two bottom portraits is Augustus.
Either way almost certainly 'Julio-Claudians' which makes it a score ......
even without the elephant in the room !

Can't find the elephant under Antichos, but I have found this image on acsearch: http://www.acsearch.info/ext_image.html?id=600382Description is Seleukid Kings of Syria. Alexander I Æ15. Antioch, circa 150-146 BC. Laureate head of Dionysos right / BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛEΞANÎ"POY, elephant walking left, monogram in right field. SC 1791.1; SNG Spaer 1477-9. 2.76g, 15mm, 12h. My elephant does not have the monogram in right field, but do you think it is close enough for attribution? My elephant is 2.67g 9mm quite a bit smaller but maybe smaller denomination? |

No, it's not Alexander I. The name under the elephant indicates Antiochos, although the O seems to be missing (can see ANTIXI) It's very close to some Antiochos III coins on wildwinds, check them again. Another good research site is coinproject. Here's the link for Antiochos III: http://www.coinproject.com/search_e...NGDOM&type=1Once again, a very nice lot. You have picked up some real winners lately! |
