And the condition of these two has prevented me from IDing them. Any Help would be appreciated. The first is 15mm and features a bearded male bust facing left on the obverse. Could this be an image of Zeus? The reverse is quite corroded, but it may be a standing figure. The second also 15mm, but it features a diademed bust facing right. The reverse appears to feature a club (of Hercules?) or a pillar surrounded by concentric circles, which may be stylized wreaths. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Likely from Larissa Kremaste, with nymph obverse, ΛAPI to right of the harpa. Edited by Kamnaskires 12/03/2019 10:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
