<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 5409026, member: 103829&quot;][USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] Thank you very much! I have a coin from Parion with the same motif:</p><p><br /></p><p>Mysia, Parion, Gallienus, 253-268</p><p>AE 28, 11.60g, 27.76mm, 0°.</p><p>Obv.: [IMP LICIN] - [GALL]EIN</p><p>Bust, draped and cuirassed, laureate, r.</p><p>Rev.: CC - IH - R (inverted)</p><p>Male figure (Androklos?) with naked torso and hip dress, wearing boots, standing r., holding spear horizontally forward with both hands against boar leaping towards him; tree branch above.</p><p>Ref.: SNG Copenhagen 19, 306(?); ANS #1944.100.43153 (identical!)</p><p>Rare, S+, green patina</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1234200[/ATTACH] </p><p>Here the question is whether it is really Androklos, or eventually Meleager from the Atalante myth. Usually Androklos is depicted nude.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best regards[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
