I see you guys determined this coin has Tyche or Homonoia on the reverse. I wonder how subtle the difference has to be, for this to be a different god. Aequitas is shown here on my coin and most others with scales. I see yours has apparently no scales unless they are worn? I mean I am no expert but that intrigues me. The clothing the headware appears identical and the position of the goddess. In the context of the obverse, I suppose you guys are right, it makes more sense that it is either Tyche or Homonoia. I really don&#039;t know enough about Roman religion know if all three are related or are infact the same goddess, or if this is more of a Greek interpretation seeing as though me School me please. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Gordian III</font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">c. 240 AD </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Rome Mint 3.41g 23mm </font></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Obverse: IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG Gordian III radiant, draped bust and cuirassed bust right</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Arial">Reverse: AEQUITAS AUG Aequitas Standing left, scales in right hand, cornucopia left.</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
