So an aegis is a kind of roman parrot, right?

As in "aegis on right shoulder".

 

lol, it should be a piece of armor or shield.

 

Domitian struck quite a few coins featuring him with an aegis I could show. However, it's this Vespasian tetradrachm with an aegis bust struck in Alexandria for Syria that to my mind is quite special.
