<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 5605573, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks. I read your earlier post. I knew that Ovid was exiled to a town on the Black Sea, but had no idea that it was Tomis. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m familiar with letters of the Greek alphabet in the field signifying the denomination (i.e., the numbers of assaria) for coins of Marcianopolis and Nicopolis, also in Moesia Inferior, so I don&#039;t know why it didn&#039;t occur to me for my coin from Tomis in Moesia Inferior. (The dealer&#039;s description put Tomis in Thrace, but I changed it based on the information in RPC. Oddly, RPC makes no mention of the denomination, or the significance of the Delta.) </p><p><br /></p><p>Judging from the coin you showed, I guess one knows Nemesis by her wheel, no mater what form she takes.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should be able to find a nice griffin/wheel coin, although clearly they&#039;re not common compared to coins with griffins in general.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
