Document Details : Title: Alexander the Great and Zeus Ammon Subtitle: A New Interpretation of the Phalerae from Babyna Mogila Author(s): SHANKS, Jeffrey H. Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 4 Issue: 1 Date: 2005 Pages: 146-159 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.4.1.3291787 Abstract : A set of phalerae discovered at Babyna Mogila depicts a horned bearded man who should be identified as Zeus Ammon, and a horned youth who should be depicted as Alexander the Great. The Alexander phalerae appear to be based on the coinage of Alexander and Lysimachus, which would provide a terminus post quem of 297/296 BC for this particular burial. |
