I-Got-A-Present!


I-Got-A-Present!

hermaeus (posthumus issue)
70bc-50ad
drachm
o: bust, greek legend
r: zeus enthroned, karosthi legend, monogram right.
15mm
1.3g

this coin is camera shy, couldn't get a good picture of it.

and these 4 cool little carthaginian coins, tanit obverse and horse/palm reverse. I can't exactly id them, but I think they're all 3-4th century bc. they are 15-17 mm in diameter. seem to be from zeugitana, which I think is in the ballpark of modern day tunisia.

please correct me if I'm off on my attribution.
