<p>[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 7971335, member: 128351"]Well... I don't have much time to reply. Let's just consider for now another better specimen on the second neronian <i>liberalitas </i>scene, because the one you illustrated had been tooled : the Minerva statue does not hold a square device but an owl, and the square device (an abacus? a counting board?) has a very long handle. I will not forget your interesting hypothesis, but as far as coin types are concerned I still stand to the traditional interpretation, an abacus. I wait for the discovery of a depiction of a counting board with a handle... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1382782[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
