<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2431445, member: 42773"]Interesting thread, interesting coins. In some cases it's obvious that the look-back conserves space on the flan. In other cases, it just looks artistic. I have this little bronze of Selge, Pisidia with a back-facing stag. This pose looks emblematic to me - almost like a modern logo. It's a nice coin, but the most interesting feature is the obverse, with 3/4 facing bust of Herakles wreathed in styrax. Does anyone know if this rendition of Herakles occurred on coins of any other city?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]505270[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
