Hi it's a nice coin but there's something strange for me:
there are 4 horses,then 8 legs behind but only 5 in front....in the exaple of maridunum we can see a different number of legs....only another coinage?

If you look for examples of Sydenham 723 you will see different numbers of legs depicted based on what the engraver could fit in.     They are all attributed as the same coin type ans share the same reference. Regards, Martin |
