<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2656845, member: 75937&quot;]Although not as commonly depicted on coins as the Greco-Roman goddesses, such as Venus or Athena, Isis was a popular diety in the Roman world and she appears on a number of coins, particularly in her avatar as Isis Pharia (though I have no examples in my collection). I have but three coins with Isis.
