it's not raining Men at CT

do any of you folks have a coin that shows the god Men? a quick search of CT didn't reveal any.

if so, can i use a picture of it in my class?

in anatomy when we talk about some term that has its origin the the ancient world, i try to have a history cameo appearance with a coin. today, i showed this picture of one of TIFs coin with a hippocamp when we were checking out the hippocampus on our sheep brains.



sorry i didn't ask first, by i knew you wouldn't mind TIF (if you do mind, let me know).


here's a brain hippocampus with a "sea horse"...



it's an important brain part for memory.

another brain part we do is the "pons", this is bridge in latin, so i may show off a cool bridge coin as well.

anyway, men, a lunar diety is where we get the term menstruation from ...lunar...monthly cycle. interesting! didn't know that till i say it in the sayles book on provincial coins recently.

so any Men coin pics would be appreciated!

Of course I don't mind .

How's the coin display doing? Has it generated any interest?

 

Mên standing right, holding sceptre and Nike with trophy in left hand, sceptre in right; cock to left and bucranium at feet

That was my introduction to the word "bucranium".

 

thanks @maridvnvm !

this coin was my introductiont to "bucranium"..




@TIF thanks! well, i'm not sure...it has generated a bit of interest. i'm going to leave it up a bit longer, i'll do a update when i take it down.

 

Since it's now not only raining Men, but also Severans, let me add my Caracalla .

 

Here is a bust from Sillyum, Pamphylia.
