SILVER COIN ID HELP

[vince76]

Hi guys. Today I found this coin in an area where usually I find coins from 4-1 st century. I already did a research on web but without results. I would say that it can be a Dracula of Epidamus or Durrachium.
Can anyone help me Id this?
Thanks

If that is Pegasus on the reverse, the coin might be from Syracuse.....Joe McDonough

I'm thinking it may be Greek

I think you've got it already Vince. Drachm of Epidamnos-Dyrrachium circa 250bc. Head of Heracles on one side, Pegasus on the other.

There are 2 examples on wildwinds:

Illyria, Epidamnos-Dyrrachium AR Drachm. ca 250 BC. Head of Herakles in lionskin / <font face="SYMBOL">D</font>YP, retrograde, Pegasus flying right. SNG Cop 433, BMC 27-31. * Sear GCV sg1896 * WildWinds.com

You're finding some great coins!

Thanks JamieD
I had an idea because of the area where I found it but I couldn't find it on the web. You nailed it. I searched for a coin with pegasus and I found a lot from Syracuse and a lot of Alexander the Great and I was confused.
Thanks man.
