Victory on this sestertius of Marcus Aurelius is described as "naked to the waist" - her modesty is preserved thanks to a lot of wear: [ATTACH]...
Terrific portrait on that OP. I have only a bronze, which is also a bit mysterious, apparently: [ATTACH] Seleucid Kingdom Æ 16...
I just did a quick search of "harpa" on the thesis noted by NewStyleKing above - I did not get any hits, but this might be because of the ancient...
