greek campania to ID

[luigi r]

hi, can you helm me to identification the city of this bronze greek coin?
I think the coin is of campania, neapolis? cales?
I was curious about the absence of the figure (victory or liters) over the bull

Are you sure it's a Campania?  Campania bull's heads are usually 3/4 facing.  The head on this one looks a bit small.

It does look similar to this one: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1373926 which also has victory obscured.

Hi LR,

It is definitely Campania. The style matches.

I can't determine the city because I can't read any of the legend.

Here are my Greek Italy coins, which include many Campania coins:

One of the forum members, Molinari, has authored an excellent book called ΠOTAMIKON which is the (only) standard reference for coins with 'man-faced bulls'. I have looked through my copy and agree that your coin looks most like those examples from Neapolis. There are many similar-looking types listed under Neapolis however and difficult to see from your photo what is above the man-faced bull to narrow it down further.

thank for your answers!

[Molinari]

If you can determine what is above and just below the man-faced bull I can help you narrow it down.  Perhaps you can see traces of letters/devices in hand?

Based on the weight and style I'm thinking Cales.
