BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 10:04 am I got this in a lot, and it was identified as Ptolemy. I don't see any just like it. A friend referred me to look at Boeotian issues. I cant really tell. The reverse seems to have next to nothing on it. It may be corroded off/worn off. It LOOKS like it was always that way (to my untrained eye). Does anyone here recognize it? Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 10:27 am Definitely not ptolemaic. If you turn the reverse about 15 degrees clockwise, I see legs wide apart... maybe a javelin thrower or soldier/diety in heroic pose? Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 12/06/2017 10:35 pm Probably not a match but I think Finn may be correct with a javelin thrower. Legs look a bit off but maybe something similar?
