[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3583039, member: 88829"]Am I looking at the same pic as Doug? Here is what I'm looking at lightened and expanded: [ATTACH=full]956164[/ATTACH] The initial character looks broader at the top than the base, so I don't see it as a delta irrespective of how damaged it may be. I'm a lot more comfortable calling it a <gamma>. While the figure in the right field has a lot in common with the figure on Doug's coin (something like a tuft of grass branching out) the figure associated with <gamma> in the exerge of a rockpile reverse for Constans sometimes looks similar (a hooked barb on a pole?): [ATTACH=full]956172[/ATTACH] I think you could make a case for the marks of officina <gamma>. Edit: here is a shot of the full reverse of my example: [ATTACH=full]956209[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
