Sap Moderator Australia 16849 Posts	Posted 03/30/2009 7:08 pm I can do this one. It's from the city of Dyrrhachium, known today as the port of Durres, Albania. Rotate the top pic 90 degrees left to get it the "right way up"; the top three Greek letters are DYR, the abbreviation of the city's name. The other three sets of letters are the name of the magistrate responsible for the coin (looks like DEAMENOS). The reverse type is a cow suckling a calf, a very commmon design motif for coins of this city. I have a very similar coin, with magistrate SILANOS. 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
