The Cilician city of Aegeae (Greek: city of goats) was Greek town of Macedonian origin founded in memory of the victory over the Persians at Issos. Although neither portrait is explicitly identified, they likely represent Alexander the Great - first beleved founder, and Julius Caesar - restorer of the city's former power.
