Doucet Pillar of the Community United States 1315 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 11:54 am Lydia, Apollonis 2nd-1st c. BC Quote: On the reverse, am I reading APOLLONIDEO DVC you were right close....it reads APOLLΩ NIDEΩN. That last N is hard to see on this coin. Seller had the inscription like you had it but luckily had the Sear #4688 with it, which gave me the right leads. It was kind of hard to find other examples on the web. Wildwinds won't find this coin from the inscription.I don't know why. But there is a link to Wildwinds under google search for Lydia, Apollonis.......? Quote: But my best guess its colonial not from main Greek land. I know that there are coins from Psidia with Hercules and Thunderbolt. Psidia and Lydia are pretty close to each other and both, as you say are not in mainland Greece but in Asia Minor. a few of interesting links: http://asiaminorcoins.com/lydia.html http://www.acsearch.info/search.htm...=&c=&a=&l=#0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia Report this Post to the Staff
