IZOS

I could read IZOS ( Sigma instead of S ) on reverse of this Greek coin. This name was beside a standing lady, making me think that it's hers. I wonder who could she be? The obverse shows turreted Tyche, and the coin is much better looking at hand than scanned. Always awaiting your opinions. Thanks..

Hi 7C ... another great addition (congrats) ...

Curious? ... do you keep all of the coins, or are you selling most of them?

 

I didn't sell a single one. Maybe some day, with some luck..

 

do i see athena holding a small nike?

 

Probably yes. Then, what could the word ZOS mean in Greek. Does it refer to Zeus.

 

The text to the right of Athena and to the left of the ZOS is more important for attribution. But your photo does not make it easy to read.
My first guess is that on the left it reads AYTONOMON, and this is a coin from Apameia, to give your search some direction.

 

Did you find it yet ?
An extra hint: the ZOS part probably is the date, the year in the Seleucid Era. ZOS stands for 277 = 36BC.

 

Yes I already found it. Thank you very much for your concern THC.
