JeandAcre Posted October 20, 2022 · Member Share Posted October 20, 2022 ...Well, Really, though, why can't it be Anything, including, Heck, Modern?

expat Posted October 20, 2022 · Supporter Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Thanks for your feedback. The Greek followers are outright leaders for this one. Medieval to Modern and everything in between is under consideration for the 3rd version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shanxi Posted October 20, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) I also voted for greek. But if there are no new participants, it will not go as well as the first time. On the one hand because there is a restriction on greek or medieval, on the other hand one does not want to repeat oneself and I, and possibly also some others, have shown all their greek coins for some of the letters already.

Deinomenid Posted October 20, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 20, 2022 Abakainon and Acorn Abakainon, Sicily Circa 430-420 BC. AR Litra (13mm, 0.73 g, 5h).

Campana 10a; Bertino 12; HGC 2, 10; SNG Fitzwilliam 883; BMC 2; Hunterian 1 Abacaenum is "famous" for its mint and its silver and copper coins that bear the classic symbols of sows, boars and acorns. The acorns evidently refer to the great forests of oak which still cover the neighbouring mountains and gave pasture to large herds of swine. 8 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
