That&#039;s why I found it interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>All the attributions I&#039;ve seen for examples of this coinage describe the obverse simply as male head. Any idea whose head it is? some deity, maybe Endovelico? a warrior fighting perhaps during the first punic war in Iberia? </p><p><br /></p><p>AE 27, Hispania Citerior, Bilbilis (Calatayud, Zaragoza), Late 2nd - Early 1st Century BC</p><p>14.32 g</p><p>CNH 11; SNG France 864</p><p>Ob.: Male head to right wearing necklace, Iberian letters BI behind</p><p>Rv.: Horseman galloping right holding lance, below Iberian legend BILBIN</p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your coins from Bilbilis or anything related <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Picture courtesy Ken Dorney:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1530964[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
