<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeptimusT, post: 8141746, member: 91240&quot;][USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER], wow! No, certainly not hijacking the thread. I&#039;m impressed by your sleuthing, as I hadn&#039;t looked that deeply into the coin or its inscription. Maybe you should consider turning that into a short write-up for the next issue of <i>Koinon</i> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It&#039;s pretty darn interesting and it sounds like you&#039;ve already done your homework. </p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I have to add is that I don&#039;t think Isis is wearing the hem-hem crown here, nor simply a lotus as RPC describes. I think it&#039;s the typical Isis headdress, like the one seen on the Isis-Fortuna bronze below (note the curvature of the outer horns on the Neapolis coin). I see it in catalogues from time to time, but Isis only wears the hem-hem crown in, <i>maybe</i>, some exceptional syncretic images.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.christies.com/img/LotImages/2007/NYR/2007_NYR_01915_0177_000(030446).jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
