I can see what might be the ΣΙΛΕ of ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ, and to the left of the tripod I think I can see a line ending in X-Y, so presumably ΑΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ. Monogram at left. Perhaps Antiochos II Theos? I would guess Augustus for the oxen-reverse coin. Determining the mint could be a challenge - I believe there are several possibilities. Report this Post to the Staff
