Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 7:08 pm I know pish recently got one. Well heres mine - no where near as nice, but I'm pretty happy with it. cleaned by my own fair hands (might have cleaned it a bit more than this). Tucked away at the minute, but heres a picture. The A B on eithe rside of the helmet mean ALEXANDER BASILIEUS (...around there) (King Alexander, i.e. Alexander III (the great)). Mine has a gorgon's head on a small stumpy flan - theres probably a few variations around. Im sure a couple of people around here will have one. Its a nice type! Post em ere, lets have a look.

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 7:25 pm After a little very light cleaning. There are some green spots which made my hear sink when I saw them, but they are rock solid. Report this Post to the Staff
pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 7:26 pm Ben, are you sure this is Alex the Great, I had it down as anonymous. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/10/2013 7:27 pm Thats a very nice one. The Caduceus is pretty far away from where mine has it, oddly. I assume it is a thunderbolt and not some sort of star? EDIT: There were lots of different centers...hmmm...would make a good collection Also, its minted anonymously by god knows who, but the BA does stand for Alex the Great.
