    LOL @ Brennus!

    I have another AS-related question that's been bothering me for AGES:

    What's on the AS officer's shield? No matter how often I tried to find out, what's depicted on it, I was never able to figure it out.

    Can anyone illuminate me?

    Do you mean the officer or the general? The officer leading various units carries a silver shield with a ram on it. The general has a man playing a flute. Probably a god but I know not whom.

    The ram is likely either a depiction of Ares or Alexander-Zeus Ammon, coins bearing the latter were minted in quantity by Lysimachus.

    I would imagine the flute playing individual to be either Hermes or Apollo.

    Yes, I was talking about the officer. I am able to interpret this rounded thingy with the lines as a ram's horn but still can't see a whole ram or ram's head on that.

    The general is clear. It is probably Apollo, since the Seleucids claimed to descent from Apollo or something like that.
