Benefactor LONGINUS Posted September 15, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted September 15, 2023 I enjoyed an excellent post by @KyNumis the other day, featuring Boeotian obols. I considered posting my obols there at that time but since none of mine are from Boeotia, I decided to post a separate thread. I’m pretty excited about my most recent acquisition which features a tuna fish. Please feel free to post your gorgons & goddesses, eagles, boars, lions, heroes, and tuna fish. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
