Ancients => Hey, how 'bout postin' your "2" favourite Gods(ess) and/or Deities

Yah, I am currently between purchases (ummm, I'm on a bit of a coin-break) ...

So, I was tryin' to think of a cool pile-on-thread ... I thought this might be a cool enough idea?

... anyway ... give it a whirl

Always gotta go with Athena.

 

Ahahaha => well played , my friend

=> for my 1st pick, I picked Athena as well ... yummy

 

Gotta go with Athena as well, although lately I've grown fond of Arethusa.

AthenaX6 (no relation to Steve )

 

Dionysos was the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness and ecstasy in Greek mythology ...

whoa => you had me at winemaking!!

 

We were asked for two so I'll show the twins Apollo and Artemis (AKA, in Latin, Diana). Apollo, who is unusual among the gods in that he has the same name in Greek and in Latin, is on many more coins than his sister. Apollo also comes in many varieties including my personal favorite Apollo Sauroktonos (Lizard slayer).

On this Sauroktonos of Septimius from Nikopolis, Apollo plans to throw a dart at the lizard climbing up the branch.

On the Geta also of Nikopolis, he prepares to grab the lizard with his hand. In both cases Apollo stabilizes the branch with the other hand and poses with his legs crossed. The type copies a statue by Praxiteles. Both of my coins made the Google page:

The Gordian III is from Hadrianopolis but is another pose.

This Commodus as has yet another pose...


...as does this Septimius of the Alexandria mint.


I believe the last appearance of Apollo is on this Anonymous Pagan issue c.311 AD.


I don't have many coins with Artemis. This Diadumenian of Nikopolis shows the huntress with hound.


This Laodicea denarius of Julia Domna shows Diana as the bringer of light. In addition to her torch, she wears the moon on her shoulders.

 

that's really cool

 

Can't go wrong with Fortuna - well, actually you can, but any excuse to post this coin...

 

Seriously? ...

=> wow, I was gonna ask for your "Top-10" gods/deities ...

"TWO" => c'mon man!!

 

Patience, grasshopper.

 

that's awesome, JA => Fortuna => winna, winna ... Athena & Fortuna

=> Looks & Cash => you're set, stud!!

 

Spoken like a junkie in need of a coin fix. You've only been on the wagon, what... a week?

My second is Zeus Ammon. I have a dozen or two. Here's one of them.

 

Oh yah => I could quit anytime!!




*help*

 

I don't have any ancient coins yet but my favorite god is Hades and my favorite goddess is Aphrodite because she's hot

 

uchihadesendent => umm, your new name is "Uchi" unless you rethink it ...

... anyway ... I'm lovin' your Hades & Aphrodite choices ...

=> apparently, you're dark and sultry!!

Hopefully, your coins will be as cool as your deity choices, my friend!!

 

Hmmm, I'm a bit confused?

=> ummm, maybe I made the instructions a bit too complicated?

So yah, everybody can post one or two of their coins ... as long as they have a God/Goddess/Deity on it ...

Ummm => how fricken difficult is that? ... c'mon soldiers, you can do this!!

 

Netptune:



Victory:

Well played, Mat => thanks for kickin'-up the ol' thread momentum!!


=> Neptune & Victory (very cool)

 

Atta-boy, Uchi
