For an old man like me who is not familiar with technology, the process of uploading pictures is a difficult thing.&  |

The third is Ptolemaic - meaning from ancient Egypt. 40 mm!

The eagle on the Ptolemy AE appears to have wings spread, and head facing right. Legend is likely ΠTOΛEMAIOY-BAΣIΛEΩΣ. My guess would be Ptolemy IV, but I suppose it could be III. Not my area...

Can I participate in more than one topic per day, or is this not acceptable?.

In general the only rule is to post one topic per coin, but overall the crew here is pretty relaxed. That doesn't mean they aren't good. In fact I've found them to the be best when it comes to identification and attribution of ancients.  |

Although hard to tell, sure looks to me as though ΠTOΛEMAIOY is on the left on the OP coin, and BAΣIΛEΩΣ is on the right.

Well, enough to confirm - for me, at least - that ΠTOΛEMAIOY is to the left:  The go-to page for these issues is ptolemy.com: http://ptolemybronze.com/ptolemy_series.htmlYour eagle has wings spread, head turned to the right, no cornucopia over its shoulder (it seems), and there is (apparently) no club in the left field. And we know that ΠTOΛEMAIOY is to the left. These things may narrow down the possibilities. Perhaps yours may be from the Ptolemy IV - Series 5 - Kyrene Demonination Series. Scan down the page (at the link) to compare. |
