<p>[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7410969, member: 84744"]This of course rules out these lion-skin headdress depictions on Macedonian coinage as generally being depictions of Alexander. They're all depictions of Herakles. But I think the question is whether any of them have assimilated Alexander's features into Herakles' portrait. My suggestion above is that this did indeed happen, at least posthumously. (But maybe you're not intending to dispute that.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
