    That is one fantastic 3d temple with Apollo standing within and great read on the Forum site, maybe my Gordian III is an Apollo....link copy
    Besides thos of Alexandria Troas and Apamea, above noticed, Apollo appears on coins struck in the colony of Caesarea Palestinae, under Hadrian, Antonius Pius, and Aurelius; of Corinth under Comodus; of Patrae under Nero, Domitian, Marcus Aurelius and Commodus; of Deltum under MaximusCaesar and Gordian III; and of Tyre under Trebonianus Gallus and Gallienus.

    The attributes most often included with images of Apollo are the laurel and lyre. On a third Brass of Maximus (son of Maximiinus) struck at Deultum, Apollo stands holding a laurel branch in the right hand and placing with his left a lyre on a tripod. Before his feet is a lit altar. Gordian temple.jpg
    Gordian III. Deultum.
