<p>[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 2830161, member: 76440"]Thinking this through, if the potter impressed a coin into the clay, wouldn't the image be incuse and reversed - i.e. facing right? This image is facimg left, as on the coins. The image also seems to be in relief, unless the photo/lighting is playing tricks. Maybe they used a dekadrachm to produce a decorative transfer die for the potter, which would produce a relief image facing the same way as the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
