<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2715951, member: 83956&quot;]I find the patera on Martin&#039;s second follis very interesting. It almost looks like a crescent moon. I guess what we&#039;re seeing is the patera held by the handle and pointing almost straight down? Most of the time on coins it seems that the patera is just held like one might hold a dinner plate. This handle-held patera is a lovely detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an image from <a href="http://www.royalathena.com/PAGES/RomanCatalog/Bronze/Vessels/WH1107C.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.royalathena.com/PAGES/RomanCatalog/Bronze/Vessels/WH1107C.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.royalathena.com/PAGES/RomanCatalog/Bronze/Vessels/WH1107C.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]614145[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
