<p>[QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 2999605, member: 87404"]There are so many deities that it could be... Over dozen all doing different things with different other elements. For example, yours seems to have a flat angled ramp shape at the left of its feet. And maybe remnants if a scepter/staff long and vertical on the right, but it also looks like the hand in the right extends past it and has something in its hand. My first inclination was Mars... But maybe someone arching back ready to throw a spear to the left?</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd also agree that the obverse has qualities of being Commodus (the slouching face and a beard that looks like it might just fall off). So go out to Wildwinds and pull up their listing for him and scroll through his sestertius (i assume from its chunkiness) and see if you can find a reverse (and even obverse) that seems to match the shape of the figure on the reverse. Enjoy the hunt... On the journey is where you'll learn so much![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
