micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 11:22 am Hello! I'm trying to identify some of my coins and any idea is very welcome. Thank you for your help! Diameter 14mm, Weight 3.2g, Bronze Bearded man to right / Horse standing My info says that the coin comes from Ilion, Troas Not sure if the bearded man is Aeneas, I make some search but I couldn't find anything similar, not on Zeus or Herakles either Report this Post to the Staff

I see that projection on the back of the animal, but can't tell whether it's part of the design - or a result of corrosion. Was thinking of something like the Zeus/bulls from Tralleis - there seems to be a wide range of dimensions and weights for these: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8100876 But perhaps you're right that it's a horse...

micha Valued Member Cyprus 385 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 2:24 pm Bob, I am not sure if it's a horse, is not that clear and the quality of the coin is not helping. I started searching with my info for Ilion but at the same time I was also making some search on bull and I saw the Tralleis Bulls but I was more focus on horse. I will study it more, there is a chance to be a bull, will see. Thank you once again for your help and ideas!! Report this Post to the Staff
