    I have a Roman Republic Denarius featuring the Roman Dioscuri galloping over/trampling? a Makedonon Shield:

    RR T Quinct Flaminius 126 BC AR Den Roma Diosc gallpng T-Q Macedon Shield S 143 Cr 267-1 O-R.jpg
    RR T Quinctius Flamininus 126 BCE AR Denarius Roma Dioscori gallpng T-Q Macedon Shield Sear 143 Craw 267/1

    The Moneyer was an ancestor of T Quinctius Flamininus who achieved victory over Philip V at Cynoscephalae 197 BCE, after which special vows were offered up to the Dioscuri.
