<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 6455521, member: 110350"]If I understand our esteemed new member correctly, he or she would agree that your coin has nothing to do with Hannibal. Their point seems to be that not every one of the many Roman coin-types with elephants on them portrays a Hannibal elephant, and, therefore, you shouldn't assume that every one of the half-dozen Roman Alexandrian coin-types with crouching man-headed Sphinxes portrays the Great Sphinx. What I tried to show is that the analogy is weak, and doesn't really hold together.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
