Note
The representation here is similar to that of Onuris-Shu/Ares of the Sebennyte nome (cf. https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/23076; Vogt p. 120). The local characterization is reinforced by the addition of the goat, which is characteristic of the same local deity on Trajanic coins (RPC II, https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/type/78192).
