On some pieces it looks like a plant, on others like - just a spot, a field. And the herdsman, when present in the above pieces, looks like a man who sees his horse has struck oil. And the horse is obviously overjoyed, too - if ever a horse (of course, of course!) could smile, this one does.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only today I bought another of these beautiful, clearcut coins with the round-rumped horse of Erichthonius (I went for the nice portrait of Gallienus).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1039844[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>AE19 Gallienus, Alexandria Troas.
