<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2743942, member: 19463&quot;]My newp arriving today is a tetradrachm of Philip I from Alexandria, year 3 (August 245 - August 246) with reverse showing Serapis seated left with his &#039;pet&#039; three headed dog Kerberos (Cerberus) at his feet.&nbsp; I have several coins with Cerberus accompanying Hades, Pluto or, now, Serapis but this one has the best facial details I have seen on two of the three heads.&nbsp; It is not the silliest reason I have given for a purchase.&nbsp; I am a bit offended that this seated coin is listed in Emmett as 3508 without mention of the dog but the standing version (3507) lists him.&nbsp; I note that the face on the third head seems more clear on the smaller image.&nbsp; That means there will be at least one reshoot of this one!&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]626973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
