L. Roscius Fabatus 412/1 - Star Fish

Will do! There's at least two in existence. Do let me know if you have better suggestions for some of the seafood on it. I'm not convinced with my interpretation yet.

I didn't want to intervene in this thread since it might require an expert in something like marine zoology. But sincerely I guessed the animal on the reverse is a sea turtle before reading the thread. Believe it. As for the obverse, it would be an enormous coincidence to see a six-arm starfish instead of 5 arms, especially that six-pointed stars are very common. I mean it's likely to be just a star.

 

Good finds Martin! I didn't catch any if those. It's a very popular issue with hundreds of examples so I guess I missed them!

And TIF, interesting starfish. It almost looks reptilian!
