<p>[QUOTE="Mike Margolis, post: 3027468, member: 88401"]Thanks for your input Ken. The LRBs is not an area of interest for me but I think I get the gist. However as some might know here a big part of my personal interest in the ancients involves the religious symbolism and sacred geometry. The wreath of Laurel is a profound religious symbol for these ancient peoples and so are the simple geometric patterns they express. The circle or wheel of ten has a distinction from that of eight. These peoples were steeped in their religious symbolism and divine right to rule a nation or empire. I wasn't really looking to uncover an unusual anomaly when I bid on this. These coins in poor condition but with famous personages I have been giving to students. However when I discovered that I couldn't find another quite like it in such a famous minter of coins as Augustus it peeked my research interest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
