[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2786150, member: 72818"]Wonderful coin !! Terrific write-up!!! That seems plausible, considering the Roman love of word-play. Since you have listed my link and Bing just posted that particular coin....I'll throw in Trajan's column and a Republican depicting a stylized version of a famous painting: [ATTACH=full]645941[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]645942[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]645943[/ATTACH] "This reverse was inspired by a specific ancient work of art, the painting "Victoria quadrigam in sublime rapiens" by Nicomachus of Thebes.
