Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 10:04 pm Possibly (and likely) Zeus obverse, yes - although there are other possibilities for bearded busts. Standing figure reverse - with both arms aiming downward. No apparent crested helmet that I can make out - probably not Athena. Narrows it down some, but there are still a number of possibilities, including the following. I'm not taking denominations/sizes into consideration - just providing some possible avenues of investigation for you. Iconium (Ikonion), Lycaonia: Zeus/Perseus Adana, Cilicia: Zeus/Hermes Acmoneia, Phrygia: Zeus/Asklepios Blaundos, Lydia: Zeus/Hermes Edited by Kamnaskires 06/23/2018 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
