<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2090753, member: 57495&quot;]You&#039;re right, it does look quite like a hippocamp!&nbsp; The coin&#039;s rough surfaces don&#039;t help it, but it is in fact a seated dog... I presume meant to represent Argos, Odysseus&#039; dog, with whom the city shared its name.&nbsp; It&#039;s the symbol behind Athena that I&#039;m not too certain of... I believe it&#039;s a herm, but maybe it&#039;s a long knotted club? I don&#039;t have the Calciati reference, and haven&#039;t found any other examples of this type online, so it&#039;s still a bit of a mystery to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
