[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 30243, member: 39"]Now that jeton sure is an odd thing :-) As for what that "UFO" actually is, seems that nobody really knows. Here we have an Italian guess: [i]potrebbe invece rappresentare l'Ancile, lo scudo sacro inviato da Giove al re di Roma Numa Pompilio.[/i] [url]http://www.sprezzatura.it/Arte/Arte_UFO_7.htm[/url] The author suggests it could (as in "perhaps, who knows") be a holy shield sent by Jupiter to Numa Pompilius, the legendary second king of Rome. He also provides a link to a French language page which does not really have a solution either: [i]Elle fait probablement référence à une anecdote très secondaire, peut-être un épisode de la guerre que le prince de Condé livrait aux Français et pendant lequel une chose est arrivée "au bon moment"[/i] [url]http://cendrars.club.fr/enigma2/ovni25.htm[/url] That means the "UFO" could refer to a relatively minor event in the war, involving the prince of Condé; something that came just at the right moment". No extraterrestrians though, it seems :-) Christian[/QUOTE]
