This coin is the only one that I have seen that contradicts that perception in what looks like a path winding up a mountain or hill with maybe buildings up each side and below (township).[ATTACH=full]826540[/ATTACH] And below my two coins approx 100 years later, it seems the whole concept has been neatened up giving the impression of courtyard?</p><p>Zeugma in Commagene.
