@llewelyn_morgan > inclined to think at least some of Indian coins must be ancient losses, but even some of uncertain ones could be too: eg>
@llewelyn_morgan >not entirely convinced v worn, indistinct Chester coin would be much of a tourist souvenir! Btw, seen the Greek coins on >
@llewelyn_morgan > the PAS, e.g. two of Philip I from Caerwent... quite a few from Wales!
@caitlinrgreen Here's a reference to the Tenby find. It may have been 1881:https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=qcOwIMflx7AC&pg=PA400&lpg=PA400&dq=menander,+tenby,+drachma&source=bl&ots=4OvZ516slq&sig=CXbwItZVRGhoGb-banhrVqx5z8g&hl=en&sa=X&ei=O3qgVM_iBobiauC9gYAF&ved=0CB8Q6AEwAQ …
@llewelyn_morgan Ah, fabulous :) In return, a PAS find: Alexander III, 315-294 BC, N.Yorks: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/493302 …pic.twitter.com/tASTh3c736
@llewelyn_morgan Ooh, & your Tenby coin! http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/365162 …. Caerwent coins of Ptolemy I http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/342939 … & http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/342940 …
@caitlinrgreen Quite a few Gk/post-Gk coins from Afgh/Pak, in fact: makes the Tenby drachma less anomalous (if anc losses). What a database!
@llewelyn_morgan Yes, that's very true--the Tenby coin clearly doesn't stand alone. And absolutely, it's an amazing resource! :)
@llewelyn_morgan Btw, can you see this w/ your login? Coin of Indo-Greek king Hermaeus, E1stC BC, found Hampshire :)pic.twitter.com/nuFGvjeLKB
