I believe it is Neptune hurling a trident. My guess (only a guess) would be Magna Grecia ie pre-Roman Italian city on the Adriatic side. Very nice AE by the way ! I like it.

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3465 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 3:20 pm I am surprised it is that 'late'. I remember now seeing the famous statue on which this reverse is I believe a representation of ..... In the Athens museum ! A very long long time ago. There were Colonels in sunglasses running the show back then. An 'interesting' time. Report this Post to the Staff
