[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 8086901, member: 91461"]Thanks so much! I think you might be onto something! Looking at his coinage he did have a Herakles vs Antaeus but it's in latin: [ATTACH=full]1405054[/ATTACH] and looking at provincials of his with his name in Greek it really does look much like my coin! *Spoiler! I don't have the coin yet but will feel much more confident once I can look at in hand. Here's his name in Greek "OYOΛOYCCIANOC" and what I am seeing on the coin: [ATTACH=full]1405064[/ATTACH] If that is just wishful thinking and someone has a better idea please let me know.
