Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/10/2024 12:36 pm I believe that's a bull (or man-headed bull), not a panther. If you look carefully, there is a figure - probably Nike - flying above it, and there is an iota-sigma below its belly. Try Neapolis. Likely an Apollo/man-headed bull (with Nike) combo.

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5274 Posts	Posted 09/10/2024 4:11 pm Thanks. A man-faced bull...and I thought that I was starting to figure things out. I got a pretty good match on ACsearch, except that mine is a bit light. Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 09/10/2024 4:27 pm Seems to have been a wide range of weights for these. If the link works, here's a search with "4" thrown in (along with IΣ) to direct the results toward specimens below five grams. https://www.acsearch.info/search.ht...=1&es=1&ot=1¤cy=usd&order=0 If the link doesn't work, my search terms at acsearch.info are: neapolis man-headed bull ae IΣ 4 Here's a particularly nice one, in my opinion, that is lighter than yours: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=8404663 Edited by Kamnaskires 09/10/2024 4:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
