[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 3431161, member: 10613"]Here are some where it is tougher to make out the Gorgon Hadrian A.D. 125- 128 AR Denarius 18mm 3.3gm HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS; bare head right; slight drapery on left shoulder. COS III; Minerva standing l., feet together, holding spear pointed downwards and round shield with gorgon[?]. RIC II Rome 154 [ATTACH=full]910986[/ATTACH] Marcus Aurelius A.D. 171-173 Ӕ Sestertius M ANTONINVS AVG TR P XXVI; laureate head right. IMP VI COS III S-C; Roma seated left, holding Victory and spear, behind her shield with Medusa. RIC III Rome 1083 [ATTACH=full]910977[/ATTACH] and on this coin is not clear, but I believe it is a Gorgon on the shield and maybe a thunderbolt on the cuirass Carus A.D. 282- 283 Ӕ Antoninianus 21x22mm 4.3gm VIRTVS CARI AVG; Radiate helmet and cuirassed bust left, spear over right and shield with gorgon (?) on left. PAX AVGG; Pax stg. left, holding olive branch and sceptre; B in left field. RIC Vii Lugdunum 14 [ATTACH=full]910982[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
