[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3107326, member: 75937"]Lovely coins, [USER=80147]@Ancient Aussie[/USER] [USER=80783]@Julius Germanicus[/USER] [USER=57495]@zumbly[/USER] and [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] ! Doug, thanks as always for your insightful and thought-provoking comments. Mercury was the god of transporting and selling stuff while Ceres was the goddess of growing stuff. The Yin and Yang of Ceres and Mercury might be seen as that of groceries and grocer. I like how you've linked Isis and Serapis to the original twelve. It never dawned on me to include them, but now that you've pointed it out, their parallel to the other members of the [I]Dii Consentes[/I] is obvious! So I shall add [B]SERAPIS and ISIS:[/B] [ATTACH=full]787618[/ATTACH] Annia Faustina, AD 221. Roman provincial AE 25.0 mm, 8.55 g. Pisidia, Isinda, AD 221. Obv: ANNIAN FAVCTEINAN, bare-headed and draped bust right. Rev: [ΙΣ] ΙΝ ΔΕΩΝ, Confronted heads of Serapis and Isis, in field, E-Delta (yr. 4 ). Refs: Ex Lindgren I A1322A, ex von Aulock, Pisidia I 833.[/QUOTE]
