Ziz (Panormos), Punic Sicily, c. 405 - 380 B.C.
|Punic| |Sicily|, |Ziz| |(Panormos),| |Punic| |Sicily,| |c.| |405| |-| |380| |B.C.|, Some authorities have identified the male head on the obverse as Apollo. Indeed, on some examples the head does resemble other depictions of the youthful sun god, but on other examples the god is horned. On this coin the head seems to better resemble traditional depictions of Herakles or Baal. The type usually has the Punic ethnic above the bull. Sometimes it is below. Most likely it should be above on this coin but is merely unstruck.
