<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 3256231, member: 99613&quot;]I know I&#039;m being very general here in using this coin as an example, but I see this obverse portrait (or very similar) on a lot of coins, but descriptions for these coins call it either a portrait of Alexander or a portrait of Herakles, with seemingly no distinction between the two.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question: is this a portrait of Alexander, a portrait of Herakles, or a portrait of Alexander represented as him being Herakles (but Alexander nonetheless)? And, if they are two different portraits, how do you tell them apart?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]855592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
