<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2806941, member: 56859&quot;]Here&#039;s a weak Aphrodite, &quot;weak&quot; because the identity is not certain.&nbsp; Various sources have called the obverse 1) female head, 2) head of Aphrodite, 3) head of Mytilene, and 4) head of Apollo.&nbsp; I think the latter is definitely wrong.&nbsp; There are many coins of Mytilene with the head of Apollo and the hairstyle is different (a few locks of hair hang down under the &quot;roll&quot;), and there are Mytilene coins with a definite Apollo on one side and a head looking like this one on the other side. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, my <i>possible</i> <b>Aphrodite</b>:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/ae43f8_26cfa8db8ee54b309b1eaef936cd1597~mv2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>LESBOS, Mytilene</b></p><p>400-350 BCE</p><p>AE14, 1.7 gm</p><p>Obv: head of Aphrodite (?) right, wearing stephane</p><p>Rev: M-Y, T-I; lyre; tripod (?, looks like an arrow) in left field, monogram in right field</p><p>Ref: SG 4272?; may also be MacDonald Mytilene #4.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
