<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 7577533, member: 97383&quot;]hotwheels, Indeed this is an interesting coin <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I too was unfamiliar with <b>Odessos</b>. Wikipedia lists two locations for the city, one in Bulgaria &amp; the other in Ukraine <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The image of <b>Boarium Herakles </b>is an impressive gilded bronze statue <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Your coin appears to depict Herakles holding a loin&#039;s skin on his left hand, something not seen on the statue. Maybe your coin was inspired by the statue with the engraver adding the lion&#039;s skin to make it more complete <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1306181[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
