[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 3230441, member: 85693"]Recently I've been accumulating undescribed lots of ancients and then trying to attribute them - this has been very educational, and I've been fairly successful (or lucky) in figuring out most of what's come my way (sometimes with help from CT). This one has me baffled. It came with a worn, but pretty sestertius of Philip II that I wanted. It shows two figures, one apparently kneeling on one side, and a seated figure (Zeus?) on the other.

Here are some photos (the second one is my pitiful effort to outline the two figures): [ATTACH=full]843432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]843434[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
