This is not Gentius. Indeed, during the archaeological excavations quite a few bronze coins issued by Gentius at Lissus was found, but the historians think (based on Hasan Ceka's results, who wrote a monography on Illyrian numismatics) that this is the portrait of an Illyrian god named Redon. For this see, Wilkes: The Illyrians, 1992, p. 178. and Ceka, Illyrians to the Albanians, 2013, p. 413. Pasztilla (talk) 13:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
