[QUOTE="tenbobbit, post: 8105141, member: 95247"]Hi [USER=78411]@Nicholas Molinari[/USER], enjoyed the sample essay a lot. It has however left me wondering about a coin i own with a strange symbol that i am unsure about, it does vaguely resemble the one in the essay from Prof. Dandrow. The coin - Macrinus, Sillyum Pamphylia [ATTACH=full]1409752[/ATTACH] The coin was listed as having Diadumenian on the Reverse with no mention of the field symbol in front of the bust. I am pretty confident that it is Apollo not Diadumenian meaning that there is a slim possibility that the symbol is a Laurel branch. Having said that it really doesn't look like a branch to me. So what is it ? Would you be so kind as to share the coin image with Prof. Dandrow and ask his opinion on the field symbol ? Even if he thinks it is a branch that would help me with confirming the Reverse figure to be Apollo not Diadumenian. I do hope you don't mind me posting the coin and ofcourse appreciate any help you may be able to give. Thanks[/QUOTE]
