I was looking at Roman/Greek books as well as online; I think the emperor is Alexander the Great due to identifying features like the nose and chin. Thank You G Report this Post to the Staff

The reverse is Zeus enthroned with a sceptre. The coin is similar in styles to many minted all over the Hellenistic world. (The coin is Greek). Just looking at the picture, I would suspect somewhere in Phoenicia or Syria. Report this Post to the Staff

Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 9:01 pm ebay is your best bet. If your collection is of high value lets say $500 - $1 mil I would say some big auction house would do. I don't live in Europe so I really can't name specifics. Report this Post to the Staff
