[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 5144218, member: 83845"]Excellent examples to show the use of "IϚ" outside the reclining type. The replacement of the pekheis in the bust variety with "IϚ" is especially interesting. From what you have seen do you think the use of "IϚ" outside of the reclining type is more common that the data I gathered from CNG suggests? (it was not a very large or representative sample after all) That Domitian type is very cool and at the very least seems to be drawing its inspiration from the same source as the statue. What a chore to fit all those little things on coin even the size of a drachm! [CENTER]..................................................[/CENTER] For no other reason than the fact that I want to post this because I came across it in my research and thought it was cool, here is another Hellenistic representation of Nilus sitting around with his cornucopia :D [ATTACH=full]1207677[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
