Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 03/10/2019 4:27 pm Well, the reverse - with its kantharos, bow, club, and ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΥ - is based on Macedonia issues, like at the link below. Where did you get this? https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=338353 Report this Post to the Staff
ancient67 Valued Member France 331 Posts	Posted 03/10/2019 4:45 pm I am à little bit suspicious about its authenticity. I may be wrong but the style of the obverse is archaic while the reverse looks classic. Something here is wrong. Ideas about the provenience ? Report this Post to the Staff
