Message:: [QUOTE="THCoins, post: 2751748, member: 57364"]No, the one i showed is a Bop-2 type which is a rare variant. You are probably referring to the article by Jens Jakobsson.According to his hypothesis this is Zoilos II:[ATTACH=full]630459[/ATTACH] And this would be Zoilos III:[ATTACH=full]630460[/ATTACH] Jakobsson's reasoning seems mainly based on the fact that the monogram on the "Zoilos III" (The "tv with antennae") also occurs in later rulers. This would suggest that the young portrait is later than the old portrait, so the young portrait must be of the son of Zoilos II, hence Zoilos III. I am not convinced by his expose. Among other things because of the coin below. This shows a portrait which looks like a younger version of the old portrait, with already an indication of the sunken cheaks. But this one already has the "TV" monogram.[ATTACH=full]630464[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
