<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 6908794, member: 75937&quot;]Another interesting thing is that on [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]&#039;s Antoninus Pius tetradrachm from Alexandria, her Hadrian diobol, and on [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER]&#039;s Rome mint Julia Domna denarius, the baby seems to have wings, such as might be seen on coins depicting Cupid/Eros. Was Harpocrates typically depicted with wings? Absolutely! He is part falcon, you know!

Cupid is linked specifically with being a child, and the connection with wings suggests the influence of Horus’s falcon wings, that spanned the sky. representing the young morning sun.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1273131[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1273127[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2018/01/21/silence-is-golden/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://jimadamsauthordotcom.wordpress.com/2018/01/21/silence-is-golden/" rel="nofollow">Ancient figure</a> of baby Harpocrates:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1273130[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
