<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 26079629, member: 128351&quot;]There are ancient Greek and Roman coins that represent not a whole ship but just parts of ships : the stern, the prow, even just the bronze ram of a war galley.</p><p>Coins with just a prow are very frequent in cities like Arados (Rwad, Syria) or Rome. This little AE 14 mm of Arados shows not a prow, but just the bronze ram.</p><p>Arados, AE 13 mm, 2nd c. BCE. Obv.: head of Zeus right. Rev.: ram of galley; two Phoenician letters above, Phoenician date below.</p><p>We can compare this ram with the real object, one of the 17 bronze galley rams discovered do far on the sea floor at the Egadi Islands battle site, 241 BCE. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1661435[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
