<p>[QUOTE=&quot;vespasian, post: 2048451, member: 41820&quot;]Thank you John for the picture I have seen this one but I was unable to copy it so you have done well. The legend is incorrect but is the nearest I have seen so far with the diety. I will copy and paste what Jochen has to say he is a great help at these provincial coins and he says......&nbsp; <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=pick" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=pick" rel="nofollow">Pick</a> (<a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=amng" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=amng" rel="nofollow">AMNG</a> I/1, 350) writes &quot;Demeter (?) stg. l., holding ears in r. hand and resting with l. hand on <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=scepter" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=scepter" rel="nofollow">scepter</a>&quot;. And in a note below: &quot;The ears are not sure on the specimen from Berlin; the woman can hold at best a <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=patera" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=patera" rel="nofollow">patera</a> in her r. hand or a torch in her l. hand, hardly both&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>But we can see that <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=pick" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=pick" rel="nofollow">Pick</a> here was not right. If we want to give a name to the woman, we have to decide between <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=hera" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=hera" rel="nofollow">Hera</a> and Demeter. And a Demeter with a <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=patera" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=patera" rel="nofollow">patera</a> is rather possible than a <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=hera" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=hera" rel="nofollow">Hera</a> with a torch. So decisions have to be made and a this coin may get its own reference after all LETS HOPE[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
