[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 8091454, member: 110350"]I had never seen this type before either. I'm very envious! Here's a bull, on a double maiorina from Julian II: [ATTACH=full]1406389[/ATTACH] A Gallienus legionary bull (the emblem of Leg. VIII Augusta) [ATTACH=full]1406391[/ATTACH] A bull on a coin of Tiberius from Hispania Tarraconensis, Turiaso Mint: [ATTACH=full]1406395[/ATTACH] And finally, a heifer that's often been wrongly identified as a bull, being sacrificed to Diana on the Aventine Hill as portrayed on a denarius issued by Postumus Albinus: [ATTACH=full]1406392[/ATTACH] Which leads me to raise the following question: look at the three bulls I posted, and then look at yours. Are you sure yours is a bull? There seems to be something missing. (Although it does seem to be present on [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER]'s specimen.)[/QUOTE]
