NEWPS! Men with Hats

nicholasz219

As is my wont, I like to buy coins with dudes wearing hats. In this case, a pileus. From the Greek city of Birytis in the area of Troas, on Turkey's northwestern coastal territory along the Aegean Sea. Constantine considered making Alexandria Troas the capital of the Roman Empire at one point because of its central trading location.







Feel free to check out my Bactrian, Parthian and Sassanian men with hats as well.

That's very nice Nick. Try and reduce resolution of image a bit as the close up makes it had to see the coin in perspective. Looks very nice.

I am not sure how to reduce the resolution because I am just copying and pasting from photo bucket. If you can help me adjust the picture size on there then I imagine it would translate to smaller pictures here? But I need help.

And thanks for the compliment Z.

Birytis.

I had one of those. Cute little thing.



Thanks for getting this stuck in my head. (Though it's the opposite of your title, actually.)
