[QUOTE="Jochen1, post: 3774582, member: 103829"][USER=89211]@eparch[/USER] That's a very interesting question. But it does not only rise here, but also with all other gods, who are depicted with a sacrificial bowl or sacrificing before an altar. I briefly went through my provincial coins and found these representations for Apollo, Athena, Demeter, Felicitas, Hera, Hestia, Homonoia, Nemesis, Nike, Serapis and even Zeus himself. Besides there are deities where I did not find this representation, at least in my collection. These are for example Aphrodite, Artemis, Dionysos or Hermes. I think it is possible that the deity is shown here making the sacrifice instead of the believers or better perhaps in the name of the believers, as in the Christian church e.g. the priest makes the sacrifice in the name of the congregation. I think it would be worthwhile to discuss this. I would like to here other opinions. Jochen[/QUOTE]
