    Good question Chrsmat. The attribution off of wild winds says she's holding a palladium. The object under her arm looks like it could be an extension of her cloak, but I'm just guessing. Maybe a die cud? Truthfully I don't have the answer. Anyone else care to take a stab?

    vlaha Respect. The. Hat.

    I'm still waiting for Steve to die. You know, so his heirs can sell me that Julia Mamaea for a tiny...erm...fortune! That's the ticket!

    I'm joking Steve, only joking.;)

    Be patient, you can wait him out. Work on getting adopted (for numismatic purposes only) so the fortune will be more...erm...tiny.
