tenbobbit Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 701 Posts	Posted 04/05/2017 07:08 am Solved a puzzle for me with this coin IMP. Nice pick up by the way I have owned a battered little bronze which I have long thought to be a limes issue, the only match I could find was your coin type, this post has just confirmed what I have.

Spence Moderator United States 34416 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 12:06 am I know right. How often do we get to use "elephant" and "armor" int he same sentence? Gerat coin!

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 06:47 am Whilst the references refer to the check markings as being armour this is far from conclusive. The check marks could as easily be a representation of the wrinkled skin of the elephant. Here is the mosaic of Africa from the Piazza Armerina villa that was used in a discussion on this topic elsewhere a few years ago. Report this Post to the Staff
