DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/15/2012 1:36 pm The square Bactrian coins are interesting. I believe these tripods were small, portable altars often associated with Apollo. I saw one from Bactria in a traveling museum exhibit--which had a lot of spectacular tetradrachms and other artifacts. Report this Post to the Staff
