<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2243699, member: 42773"]Great coins. At one point, I did some some research as to why you find Genius holding heads of Sol or Serapis on the coinage. There don't seem to be any corollary portrayals in statuary or frescoes. I came up empty-handed. It's apparently a motif unique to the coinage of the various Tetrachies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
