MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1570 Posts	Posted 09/19/2014 8:44 pm From the pics provided it looks like it was minted in Syria, Emesa, The place that saw a battle in 272 AD between the Romans and the Palmyrans. This would make it a Billon Tetradrachm of the period. You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys..... Report this Post to the Staff
