Poseidon, in ancient Greek religion, was god of the sea (and of water generally), earthquakes, and horses. Hieron II was a tyrant and king of Syracuse, Sicily, from about 270 to 216/215 BCE, who struggled against the Mamertini and eventually allied his city with Rome. Hieron maintained a powerful defensive fleet and employed his famous kinsman, the Greek Archimedes, in the construction of ingenious mechanical devices for defense of the city.
Two available, all quite similar and all graded VF. NGC Numbers: 5872743-118, 5872743-117
