<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Optimo Principi, post: 25405427, member: 159747&quot;]&quot;The triple statue is generally assumed to be the cult statue of Diana triformis.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe the BM statue is the only surviving three-form Diana and she is quite different - holding a knife, torch, key and length of rope. The coin&#039;s cult statue appears to hold flowers, so I can see why they were identified more as woodland nymphs.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;the trees belong to a grove in the background. The misinterpretation is understandable because of the alterations made by the die-cutters during the issue of this series. So the three figures look like caryatids and the lower parts of the trees have been left out. On the first types they are seen clearly.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have images of such an example where the lower part of the cypresses are visible? I have been through the sales of the type and can&#039;t find any such variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
