I wish! :D You're in the ballpark though.
Doesn't look like Doug is on right now. Here's the coin he cropped it from: [IMG] HIERON II 275-215 B.C. AE27 L.HD.LEFT HORSEMAN RT. 16.5 6H...
Alright. It's Hieron II.
There is a thread from a few days ago dealing with these "bull and horseman" jitals. You'll find some helpful links within the thread....
(continuation of a reply to IOM's question) Here's an example, a fractional bronze of Roman Egypt. [IMG] EGYPT, Alexandria. Vespasian year 4,...
