<p>[QUOTE="Ignoramus Maximus, post: 8079830, member: 104741"]Thanks for that link,[USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], it's a great help. The resemblance is too great to ignore. Guess I'll change the description of the obverse to Eros and the attribution to Aphroditopolis<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (if I can figure out which one it is. According to Wikipedia there are four to choose from).</p><p><br /></p><p>It also solves the riddle of the reverse. With Eros on the obverse the reverse creature has to be a dolphin, and not a sea monster (although it looks nothing like one). Eros plus dolphin are a common trope, of course.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Guess I'll change the description of the obverse to Eros and the attribution to Aphroditopolis:) (if I can figure out which one it is. According to Wikipedia there are four to choose from). It also solves the riddle of the reverse. With Eros on the obverse the reverse creature has to be[I] [/I]a dolphin, and not a sea monster (although it looks nothing like one).
