    IMHO, This sea creature tastes the best: Akragas Crab Collage 1.jpg

    These sea creatures are the most fun:

    Thanks for posting your new coin. I know what it's like to get caught up in life expenses. It's good to to keep building our collections when possible.

    If you look really close, I think it's possible to see barnacles on the hulls of these ships ;)

    Very funny,the five sea creatures, Donatello etc. But could someone help out and let me know what the name of the fifth, nameless, one is. All views considered.

    That's great!

    This Akragas hemidrachm has a crab, a sea monster (ketos), and a fish (being chomped by the ketos).

    Capricorns on a posthumous Vespasian denarius struck by Titus (though without their tails showing, they look less aquatic and more like regular old land goats, don't they?)

    Another Titus capricorn, this in his own name.
