The dealer was able to identify one as from Amphipolis in Macedon (it had a nice reverse if with a rougher front) but could not ID another aside from thinking it was from Aeolis, possibly Kyme. Obverse: And der reverse: I would appreciate any help you all could provide on IDing it. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
