Hey, I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that's an old Roman ping-pong racquet?

lol stevex!

I have no idea what that is, but I kind of like it. Did it come off a piece of jewelry or something?

One side depicts Athena, the other side depicts the Parthenon of Athens.
The big casting sprue is evidence it is a cast copy, probably just a tourist token from Athens.

Steve, ha!

You already asked this question a couple of years ago, yuraviva. The answer hasn't changed.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
