Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada -- including my own son J., who's a second-year PhD student in the Art History program at the U. of...
[ATTACH] My only Pegasus coin, an AR stater from Corinth.
Earlier in this thread, I raised the issue of identifying the headdress on the Canopus of Osiris depicted on the reverses of some Alexandrian...

Thanks for keeping an open mind! Another difference I notice between my example and the others posted in this thread (as well as others I've seen)...

I count at least 60 of them on the reverse!
Wow to both series posted!
@Sulla80, your coins are terrific. In terms of what Jupiter is sitting on, perhaps it's sort of like a Rorschach test, but I still see a squarish...
If you mean the object that looked to me like a dart, you can see in my photos that it is sticking directly out of Jupiter's right back heel. So...
