Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 08:23 am Looks like Hercules (Herakles) leaning on his club. The word to the right looks like BASILEUS (King), so thats not going to be of much use. Looks like you'll have to look through lots of pictures to find this one. Report this Post to the Staff

ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 09:25 am My money's on head of Apollo / Apollo leaning on tripod (or is that a bow?) So, try Seleucids. Maybe Antiochus III. What's the size? That often helps with ID of these Greeks. Report this Post to the Staff

Fine, SNG Cop. 154. Report this Post to the Staff
