He often comes with jugate busts and this one only has one head clear, but it may be so off-center that the second is missing at 3:00. Report this Post to the Staff

dwayne8625 Pillar of the Community United States 582 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 9:45 pm Thank you for the replies, but I don't think apollo on a horse for the reverse, I think it is a bird with a symbol above(it does look like shoulders in the pic). I also think it is Aretas IV for the roman but it is only a single bust and I was asking for opinions because it looks more like a counter mark because of the deep indentation.
