ΠΟΤΑΜΙΚΟΝ Sinews of Acheloios

Originally, the primary goal of Potamikon was to catalogue every known variety of ancient bronze coinage featuring a man-faced bull. But it quickly became much more than a catalogue of coins, particularly when a clear answer as to the identity of the man-faced bull was not readily forthcoming. In order to really understand the identity of the man-faced bull it became clear it was first important to investigate the origin of the iconography. The resulting book therefore presents an investigation into the origin and identity of the man-faced bull, as well as a catalogue of coins.
