Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 01/23/2014 5:08 pm Coin 1 is Greek. I can't see enough details to be sure, but the reverse motif appears to be a thunderbolt; I think I have seen the thunderbolt motif like this on bronzes of Syracuse, on Sicily. Coin 2 is late Roman, of empress Aelia Flaccilia, wife of emperor Theodosius I. In nicer condition it would look something like this example on Wildwinds. Coin 3 is Islamic, not technically "ancient". There's not enough detail for me to ID it properly from those pics; I'm not sure clearer pics would help me much anyway. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
