OneDollarMule Valued Member Australia 338 Posts	Posted 07/13/2015 12:07 am Great coin, from one of the last CNG auctions - had my eye on it! The other figure who pops up often on the Peloponnesos imperial coinage is Dionysos. Without the staff it's unlikely. It might be one of those that no one can answer (except maybe BCD ;) ).
