A dazzling facing head portrait of the famous patron of the City of Rhodes, Helios Apollo God.
He is shown with wind blown hair, framing a plump face and wearing a radiate crown  This coin also demonstrates another delightful tradition of Greek design coinage, offering a visual pun on the city name, Rhodes. Helios figures prominently in several works of Greek mythology, poetry, and literature. At a later time, Helios was conflated with Apollo; to the Romans, he was known as Sol.
The 31st Homeric Hymn is dedicated to Helios, whose genealogy you can find in the Theogony.
