Ancient => Coins-n-statues (track 'em down and post 'em)

I don't have any new coins to post, but I was trying to think of starting a new thread ... I wanted to try and think of a new thread-theme that I haven't done before ...

So I came-up with lil' idea (hopefully it seems fun ... if not, ehhh, my bad)

Find a statue that corresponds with one, or more of your ancient coins!!

Here is an example:
Philip I AR Antoninianus => "Romulus & Remus"

Pontos, Amisos AE30 => "Perseus & Medusa"

 

Ionia, Teos (Hemidrachm and a Drachm) => "Gryphon/Griffin"

 

I wonder if there are any statues of Pan? Hmmmm

 

Syracuse, Sicily AE Litra => "Hippocamp"

 

Thrace Cherronesos - Lion

 

Well, I could going-n-going, but I'll let somebody else pick-off a few of the low hanging fruits (ie. Pegasus, Athena with Owl, Roman Emperors, etc, etc)

=> it's a pretty good way to post your favourite coins (ya just gotta go find a corresponding statue, right?) ....... have some fun!!

 

Yah, I avoided that one, my friend (it was tempting, but foolish)

​

 

THRACE, ABDERA - Hermes

 

Thasos - Satyr

 

Hope you don't mind Steve, just got back from 8 days and 2900 miles on the road. I see we have a different look..so this is a test post, i'll post some coin, statue pic later..nice to see you guy's again

 

TARAS, CALABRIA - Hercules

 

Welcome home, Eng ...

Yah, the new format takes a sec to get used to, but I'm slowly catching-on (I still find occasional glitches and/or I have a bit of a brain-freeze every now and then, so it's not quite like "ridin' a bike" yet!!)

 

Moesia Inferior, Marcianopolis AE As => "Serapis"

 

Sikyonia, Sikyon, AR Stater => "Chimaera"

 

Test pic..
