<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8277189, member: 110350&quot;]Thanks, [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER]! If you don&#039;t mind my asking, what was your other target in the Naville auction?</p><p><br /></p><p>Your second Isis-Thermouthis (or Demeter-headed uraeus) is fantastic, but no, I wasn&#039;t aware of it so I didn&#039;t bid on it. May I ask which auction it was in? I gather the Demeter theory is based on the fact that there&#039;s a torch rather than a sistrum in her coils? I look forward to your write-up, and all the others to come!</p><p><br /></p><p>Between you, me, and the lamp post, I&#039;m rather flabbergasted, given the large number of Roman Alexandrian coins in the Naville auction, and my assumption that they would have an &quot;expert&quot; in that subject area to write their catalog descriptions, that they were so wrong in almost every way in describing the tessera. I guess that can happen when one has to identify the figures from scratch without a published source to rely upon. But the idea, for example, that an obvious crook and flail could somehow be seen as two Greek letters across the fields, is astonishing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
