<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 3329800, member: 83956&quot;]As I&#039;ve noted <i>ad nauseum</i> elsewhere, I think early ms. illustrations such as the Roman Vergil can offer some underutilized and near-contemporary companion pieces to numismatic iconography. What was the die engraver seeing in his mind when carving those huts on the die? Probably the kinds of structures represented in these pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what that item is that seems to hang down from the center of the hut&#039;s opening? Looks like a bag on a rope.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]882207[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
