This hybrid lion-eagle creature was a symbol for strength, power and earth and aerial dominion.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also coins of Marcus Aurelius, Antoninus, Severus, and others (<a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=nemesis" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=nemesis" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=nemesis</a>) with two&nbsp; Nemesis, maybe representing that Nemesis has two personalities: on one hand she is the goddess of fair distribution and on the other hand the avenger, sometimes called Adrasteia (the unyielding). This could also be an interpretation for the use of two griffins like the ones on the <a href="http://@rrdenarius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://@rrdenarius" rel="nofollow">@rrdenarius</a>&nbsp; coin from Genoa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
