Almost like a plano-convex lens.</p><p><br /></p><p>Heres the crusty coin,</p><p>thats artemis advancing with a torch.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385198[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385199[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Also the wikipedia of diodotus II has what I think is a very heavily tooled coin</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1385201[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
