<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 915542, member: 9204&quot;]I fell in love with tesserae because of their mystery. Only a fraction of the tokens have been published anywhere, and some of the most recent catalogs are over century old. I also just completed my senior thesis on these, where I made some interesting new observations (such as the one posted above!). I hope to publish it eventually. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other pieces Egyptian pieces you can see in my gallery. Other than that, I also recently added three tokens showing the Three Graces, two from Rome and one from Ephesos.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/normal_tessera_1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>PB Roman Tessera</p><p>19mm, 2.74g</p><p>Three nymphs</p><p>DVR SVC</p><p>Cf.
