Bought this one for the mythology Zeus and a Centaur Bronze from Thessaly

[thenickelguy]

Thessaly, Magnesia 196-146 BC, Bronze AE19
7.12g, 19mm
Laureate head of Zeus right
Centaur right, holding a branch. 
BCD Thessaly II 419 -> ???

I have been reading about Zeus and Centaurs lately and of course, learned far more than I knew. Greek mythology is pretty amazing to me and that is why I like the coins although my Roman coins make up the bulk of my ancient collection.

I add this little EDIT to mention, I am not sure about the attribution of this coin.

I think it could be Rogers 338 or Rogers 339 ???
