Anubis in bathrobe and cowboy boots, carrying a pitchfork and voodoo doll. Think he's got a bit of toilet paper stuck to his shoe too. From wildwinds.com--  Quote:
Julian II, AE14, Isis festival issue. 1.24 gr.
ISIS FARIA, draped bust of Isis in hem hem crown right.
VOTA PVBLICA, Anubis in military dress, standing left, holding
sistrum and caduceus.
Cohen 32; Alföldi, Isis, 255.
Very rare.

I did not know the Dioscuri-- just read about them. Thanks for that one! As for the current coin, Minerva. perhaps from a Claudius as? Edited to add-- after checking the types on two websites and posting my answer, it occurred to me to check JCM's website and there it is, a Claudius as indeed. JCM-- might want to use coins that aren't on your website. I didn't cheat this time but the temptation will be there next time  Edited by ThisIsFun
