<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2075761, member: 38412"]I understand that the coin is Roman because the cista with the sacred serpent are dedicated to the worship of god Bacchus. This one was the Roman god of Wine, also named Liber, I think. BTW.. There is a famous temple dedicated to Bacchus in my country. It was built by the Romans. It stands aside 2 other temples dedicated to Jupiter and Venus. Then, does the small weight require a research. Did any Authority struck cistophoric coins with a denomination of 3 Drachms. ? I do really appreciate your sincere collaboration in this interesting and scientific thread. History is a science.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
