<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2553434, member: 42773"]It's conjectural, but it makes a certain amount sense. Antioch was one of cities Antony gave Cleopatra as he was portioning out the Levant. The heads are feminine in character. Could they be Apollo? Maybe. Apollo is frequently portrayed with feminine features. Like so many things about ancient coins, nothing can be proved one way or another, and we have to be content with debating plausible and implausible theories. This one is plausible in my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
