Kefi1976 New Member Tunisia 8 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 11:02 am @spense. Tanit is always the head to the left. Report this Post to the Staff

Kefi1976 New Member Tunisia 8 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 11:36 am The head is not that of Persephone Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2214 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 11:58 am Your coin is so worn it could be Persephone or maybe Tanit. Numismatists and those who write coin catalogues sometimes disagree over identification. Because there can be uncertainty, sometimes a coin will be listed with two possible names like Persephone-Tanit, or just say "female head right." If you want, go to acsearch.info, type in "Tanit horse AE" in search line, then try "female head horse AE" in search line, also try "Persephone horse AE" you may find a match.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 12:21 pm Personally, I wonder if it may be an unpublished AE with Triptolemos. (I think the figure is male.) Edited by Kamnaskires 01/07/2024 12:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2214 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 12:32 pm Yeah, could be male. Seems to be a hair bun on the back of head, I don't know. Edited by livingwater 01/07/2024 12:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2214 Posts	Posted 01/07/2024 2:27 pm The more I look at it, I think you are correct, male with wreathed head. Edited by livingwater 01/07/2024 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
