Retrieved this from the cabinets for an enquirer the other day and couldn’t resist sharing. An absolutely fabulous three-quarter facing bust of the usurper Postumus on this aureus, struck at his mint of Trier, Germany, c. AD 264.

These little cupids are working hard to finish their garlands! Eight of them are already hanging from the top, between them erhaps four oscilla(?). This tiny object, which is only 3 cm wide, is made from glas paste and stems from the famous collection of Paul Arndt. #ClassicsBluesky #AncientBlueSky🏺

A unique #coin (www.bavarikon.de/object/bav:S...)! Achaeus was the cousin of Seleucus III and Antiochus III. In 220 he declared himself king and made Sardes the capital of his kingdom. The #gold stater shown below is perhaps to be interpreted as an inauguration issue. #numismatics #AncientBluesky🏺

Dear coin-people, I am currently working on a hoard containing a coin of Acanthus/Akanthos. There is apparently a 1996 Oxford dissertation by Tselekas and I wonder if anyone has a copy of it? As far as I can see the book is not available for ILL in Germany 🏺ClassicsBluesky AncientBluesky 🏛️
