[QUOTE="Ryro, post: 7286024, member: 91461"]Haha! Thanks I had fun putting it together. That coin of yours is nothing short of dazzling! And you got young handsome Elv...I mean Ogmios:artist:. I know so little about these folks and there isn't much on them that I could find...but you just taught me something about them that I didn't know! I had never heard of Ogmios (I assume it is the same deity that is on my coin, though not listed in my coin's description). So, moderns got one more thing wrong. When are complaining to god we type OMG when we should be typing OGMios...it was a stretch, I know:shame:. Lucian described an image of Ogmios that showed him as an old man with a blackened face, dressed as Hercules but hardly heroic in physique. Here is the only image of him that I could find...though, he does have a heroic physique, making me think this may just be Herk: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQoC6-FaV21JyFLhe_65FSftxVsocX9iEJ_YPLNbQvtH0nC6Xo:https://i.pinimg.com/236x/3c/24/76/3c24765978093abe5a578d9b2cf7b43c.jpg&usqp=CAU[/IMG][/QUOTE]
