<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2971375, member: 87200&quot;]I agree. I checked around a bit yesterday on the web and couldn&#039;t find any really close examples to the vase on your coin recorded on temple walls, and I checked various temples - Denderah (Hathor) and home to an Osiris chapel. Kom Ombo (Sobek, Haerois) where most of the reliefs and construction date to the time between Ptolemy VI and Ptolemy VIII, Esna (Khnum) where the latest reliefs date to the time of Trajan, and Karnak (Amen-Ra) - and the libation vessels depicted are not very close to your type [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] . </p><p><br /></p><p>The fresco showing one of Isis&#039; ceremonies above looks pretty close, and it would make sense that your coin is honoring Isis because of the great popularity of her cult during the first-third centuries A.D. It also could be that Osiris is being honored, as well. Anyway, more research is probably in order.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
