Whoa, a high grade Boy on Dolphin Taras piece. What did that sell for, $2k?
For about $10, you can get a Constantine I "Soli Invicto Comiti" billon follis:
Christianity was tolerated in 312 A.D. by Constantine the Great, so this was the last Pagan type coin to be struck (along with the Iovi Conservatori), last struck about 319 and 324, respectively. more details here
hello canadiancoinguy. That is actually a Calabria, Tarentum. Circa 302-280 BC. CNG currently has it listed for $795.00. I think the Greeks had the most beautiful ancient coins. In a simple way, even though they are considered crude, I find Byzantine coins attractive (and much more affordable).
