It seems it was common to have the right side of the rulers face on the obverse &amp; a god or goddess in a seated position with their far arm extended and the right arm leaning on a shield or holding a spear.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;So you can see what I mean:</p><p>Kingdom of Thrace, Lysimachos, 323 - 281 B.C ( replica )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
