<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Volodya, post: 2473039, member: 19615&quot;]They&#039;re both coins of C. Coelius Caldus, struck in 51 BC; Crawford 437/2a and 437/4a respectively. The reverse <b>obviously </b>depicts a figure seated at a lofty <i>lectisternium</i>. Lol; I had to look it up myself. A <i>lectisternium </i>is a propitiatory meal offered to the gods, so the central &quot;platform&quot; is simply a ceremonial table or couch. I&#039;ve learned something here too, because I always took it as a public platform of some sort. I guess these don&#039;t quite fit the architectural theme after all; I should have held them back for a home furnishings thread![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
