Topcat7 Posted May 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I may be suffering from 'tunnel vision' so I am asking for help from anyone who can see anything in this coin that I cannot. Obv. I can see a (fem.) head right. Rev. Person (male) reclining left with one leg over the other. I have exhausted 'River Gods' and Thessaly Lamia and Bruttium and numerous other possibilities, but if someone can contribute something I would appreciate that. AE17.2mm., 3.32 gm. Or should the coin look more like . . . Edited May 25, 2023 by Topcat7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O-Towner Posted May 25, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) It's certainly an example of Federal Coinage from Boeotia Ox: Head of Demeter (or Kore) Rx: Poseidon standing left and resting right foot on rock Probably BCD Boeotia 106 Edited May 25, 2023 by O-Towner 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. I wasn't aware of this coinage and your response caused me to investigate the link between Demeter and Persephone. Very interesting. I now know why (some believe) we have the seasons (Summer and Winter). Edited May 25, 2023 by Topcat7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
