<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2281621, member: 19463&quot;]One of the good things we get out of a group like this is to see several examples of the common coins that are new to us.&nbsp; Of course we could research all this online and ignore each other but I like it this way better.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]456037[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that these tend to be lower relief than many RR denarii.&nbsp; I do see some references call it a fountain rather than a well but the coin looks like the kind of structure meant to keep people from falling in rather than to made a basin.&nbsp; All of us have a hammer as a sign of Vulcan but there are variations with anvil or tongs. Why or why lyres - I do not know.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We also might keep an eye out for the similar coin with a veiled head of Concord in place of Boni Eventus.&nbsp; It was a shared issue and is catalogued under Aemelia.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have one but the obverse is a lot like this Aemelia 10 below.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]456039[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
