[QUOTE="Valentinian, post: 4554484, member: 44316"]I mentioned one article in the book, "From symbol to likeness: The development of Coin portraits in the Graeco-Persian world." The earliest portraits are pre-Hellenistic (i.e. before Alexander the Great), but they are not numerous and covered in that article. Here is a small coin with a pre-Hellenistic portrait: [ATTACH=full]1127688[/ATTACH] 12-11 mm. 2.12 grams. Lycian Dynast, Kherei, last quarter of the 5th C. B.C. Helmeted head of Athena right Head of dynast right with Persian-style headdress and long pointed beard Letters in local script around von Aulock 4173 variety (it has bust left) "Triobol" = hemidrachm SNG Copenhagen supplement 255 (somewhat different letters) "Lycian coin portraits" W. Schwabecher in "Essays Robinson" p. 111-124 and plates 11-12, #8. Pangerl 129 is similar, but a stater.[/QUOTE]
