| Reverse description | Head of Zeus Ammon facing right in incuse square, depicted in the archaic style with curling hair swept back from the forehead, a prominent ram's horn curving forward beneath the ear, and a bold almond-shaped eye. The syncretic deity combining aspects of Greek Zeus and Egyptian Amun was closely associated with the Libyan hinterland of Kyrene, and the head is rendered with archaic linear precision characteristic of the early fifth century BC. |
