<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 2954385, member: 88401&quot;]It is possible that the two goddess faces on the obverse in the OP coin(beautiful coin btw) that appear janiform are just the other two of the three faced form of the Virgin goddesses- Artemis and Hestia with Athena on the &quot;reverse&quot; of the coin and the &quot;hidden&quot; third face on the obverse- facing the &quot;other side&quot;. Just a guess however with some knowledge of the tri-form goddess in her many aspects. Here is a coin showing the full tri-form Lady Hecate. You don&#039;t I believe find her too often in this form on any coins. Most knowledge of her and her kinds of worship were only given over in the caves of initiation such as those of the Eleusian mysteries.[ATTACH=full]722147[/ATTACH]</p><p>Greek city of Apameia in Phrygia</p><p>Bronze 16mm (2.44 grams) Struck circa 175-225 A.D.</p><p>Reference: SNG Munchen 131; SNG von Aulock 3475; SNG Leypold II 1438</p><p>AΠAMEIA, turreted and draped bust of Tyche right.</p><p>CΩTЄIPA, Hekate Triformis, three-figured, each with double-chiton and wearing kalathos, holding torches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
