Hannibal (247 – 183 B.C.)

We see only a man’s head, complete with pupils in his eyes, from one side. looking to our left. he wears a helmet with a “Mohican” crest from front to back and feathers (perhaps of metal) in the front. He has a combed beard and moustache, which is long at the sides and curls down and then back. Abouthis neck a broach-fastened toga.

Some writing (Cyrillic?) on the background of concentric circles, in front of his face.

This appears to be from an old coin or medal, although i cannot read the fiery letters and Gandalf is not here to help out.

The circular border round the outside of the portrait might be interesting for other uses.
