Slug turned Hercules?

(1/1)

Shekels:
I got this over a year ago and had soaked it in olive oil since then. There was no improvement so the other day I zapped it for a few minutes. This is what has shown up. It looks like a Hercules on the obverse and two gazelle or antelope leaping side by side on the reverse. There seems to be a pole underneath them. I immediately thought of a merry-go-round but dismissed that idea. LOL. I'm again clueless.

Arminius:
Kings of Makedonia

Philippus V. 221-179
