Thanks for ending my anxiety, Martin. I thought it was just 'Nemesis' then I read the attribution, 'Pax-Nemesis', and further googling seemed to say that another name is Invidia. Very confused. But as usual, you are exactly correct:  The coin images are from http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/...RIC_0062.txtQuote:

Hmm. Well Martin, since you and I are the only ones playing right now and since you are incredibly knowledgeable, maybe this one will give you pause. Or not   |

Not Athena, but it is a statue of a deity.

No way. Martin cannot be stumped!
As you know, I am new to ancients. When playing GTE and GTG I more or less just read about various aspects of coins, then search through wildwinds, coinproject, etc to find something-- using these games to learn about them. Usually I try to select something that is relatively common or typical representation of the emperor or deity but this time I picked one I hoped would be more difficult .
I'll wait a bit and see if anyone else cares to take a guess before offering a clue. I'll try to come up with an oblique clue.
