<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 8126040, member: 86498&quot;]Without being able to discern the symbol which may be in the field in front of the seated Zeus it is very difficult to tell. I do not believe the coin comes from Tarsus as there appears to be no evidence of a footstool. Another feature that may help is that the foreleg of Zeus is slightly reverted. You see this feature on a lot of the drachms from the mints of Asia Minor. However if this coin is from one of those mints I believe it would most likely be posthumous. </p><p>Here is a later tetradrachm from Tarsos showing Zeus&#039;s feet resting on a footstool.</p><p>Tetradrachm of Alexander III Tarsos circa 323 BC.
