[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 24565793, member: 110226"]Thank you for the information. I've attempted to include site location information, however dubious it might be from the sellers, to the labels accompanying the coins. Some appear to be from the West Bank, notably Nablus. Gaza has been the location for a few, as well as Jordan. Again, the information is sketchy at best. The OP coin came from an Israeli seller who is no longer a registered member of eBay.

I have heard of the "Apollo of Gaza" but not much in specific information, quite an infamous case in the world of antiquities. I do have 33 owls from a group offered in late 2022.
