[QUOTE="TIF, post: 5376975, member: 56859"]Donna, those are two fantastic coins. I'd like to get a T. Carisius human-headed sphinx someday. Your cupid biga is wonderfully struck. I love these cupid bigas. Some time ago I proved they were mere fancy rather than fact via this study of cupid aerodynamics. Their wingspan is inadequate to support flight. The biga designer clearly didn't understand the function of wheels either.
