Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 07/15/2020 4:52 pm A little coin that fell from the RVFVS family tree. Such interesting imagery, both obverse and reverse. The Aegis of Minerva looks spidery webby (webish?). Edit: Looks like Paul had the same impression there... Edited by Kamnaskires 07/15/2020 4:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3433 Posts	Posted 07/15/2020 5:39 pm Not even a clue ! I noticed the coin and thought it looked like a net On closer examination it even shows loops or some type of cords at the points along the edge Especially between the D and the I (9 o'clock) When I saw the name RVFVS Well that sealed the deal didn't it The fact that it went for the bargain price of 26€ made it a 'no brainer' A perfect match made in Elysian Fields !
