<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 5297763, member: 110350"]The same thought occurred to me. Not that anyone should judge by my collection, which is still relatively small, but I don't have a single Roman Imperial coin depicting Mercury, and rarely see them offered. In fact, I have only one Roman Republican coin with Mercury (the C. Mamilius Limetanus with Mercury on the obverse and Ulysses with his dog on the reverse), and one Roman Provincial with Hermes -- a Macrinus-Diadumenian Pentassarion from Marcianopolis that I've posted a number of times. It appears from OCRE that there are only a little more than 50 different Imperial types showing Mercury, and a number of them don't really count as far as I'm concerned because they're just tiny statues in or on depictions of temples. So [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER] has himself a real prize![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
