Rv Zeus Aetophoros seated left Price 1181 16.64 grms 31 mm Photo by W. Hansen This coin is a testament to the longevity of the type. Not only has the basic design survived but the Attic weight standard has not been as degraded as on other types. The last holdouts of this basic type were struck by some of the Black Sea mints of Odessos is one. Odessos should not be confused with the modern Ukrainian city of Odessa. Varna in Bulgaria occupies the site once known as Odessos (Don't worry I have been confused by this as well) 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
