    Hello ladies and gentlemen,

    Please help with identifying some coins I bought today.
    First - 3.45 g 15.9 mm
    The person I got them from is not skilled at all and the only clue I have is a note from a previous owner, stating Syracuse Roman Biga.
    No matter how I try, I cannot see the biga.
    Obverse - probably Persephone?
    Any ideas, please?

    Looks more like a bull than a biga.

    Larissa, in Thessaly? Just a guess, biut if so, then that would be the nymph Larrisa on the obverse.
