Thanks. I take it you're referring to the object that looks like an animal skull in profile, attached to the side of the boat near the bow? To...
Given that they list five different store locations, I think that all the illustrations were of representative types rather than of the actual...
Thanks. At least I know now where the three prongs of the ram are.
I'm certainly clear now on where the rudder is, and even the apotropaic eye. But, can anyone identify what look like ropes with claws hanging off...

A wonderful portrait, @Orfew.
I should add that RIC IV-3 also categorizes Philip I's elephant coins separately from the SAECVLARES AVGG coins, grouping them instead with other...
I think any conclusion on this subject involves speculation! As a practical matter it doesn't make much difference to me, since I keep my elephant...
