<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4901605, member: 110350"]On the one hand, it would seem quite odd to combine Diana on the reverse with some other female deity on the obverse. Especially given that nobody in particular comes to mind. But on the other hand, there's nothing whatsoever about the obverse portrait that calls Diana to mind. It isn't only the absence of identifying objects, it's that she simply looks too . . . I'm not sure I have the right word; perhaps she looks entirely too civilized and refined to be Diana? So I'm mystified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
