I really loke what you're doing here! I find both very interesting visually, although A seems to me a little bit more roman and less greek. That might change once you establish the color palette. I'm more inclined towards B but then again I agree with br00dley that it could read as egyptian. Perhaps a different scepter could break that egyptian feel and telegraph a clearer greek read (?)
Either way I love both designs and how clear they look so far even though you have just values. Can't to see how this evolves
