Apollo. The head of this god is more commonly met with on coins than that of any other divinity. He is represented in full youthful beauty, generally with flowing hair and almost always crowned with laurel (Figs. [5], [6, and 7]).

His full-length figure is variously delineated, usually naked, with bow or laurel branch in his hand, either standing or seated, often on the Delphian omphalos [(Fig. 8)], or else beside his sacred tripod. When he wears a long robe reaching to the feet, and carries a lyre, he is called Apollo Musegetes, the leader of the Muses.

Helios (Sol). The Sun god is known by the rays which encircle his head [(Fig. 9)]. On coins of the Imperial period he is often seen driving the chariot of the Sun.

Poseidon (Neptune). The head of this god much resembles that of Zeus, but may usually be distinguished from it by the absence of the laurel wreath, and by the heavy way in which the dank locks of his hair fall about his neck [(Figs. 10 and 11)]. Poseidon is sometimes seated on rocks holding a trident and a dolphin or an aplustre [(Fig. 12)].
