Benefactor DonnaML Posted March 13, 2023 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted March 13, 2023 23 hours ago, Roman Collector said: Nemesis standing facing, head left, holding arshin (rod) and sling, wheel at feet; Δ - < (denomination) in fields. Just to digress for a moment, I am reasonably certain that the diamond-shaped object in Nemesis's left hand is a bridle, one of that deity's typical attributes, symbolizing her control of excess; see https://pulterproject.northwestern.edu/curations/c13-nemesis-goddess-of-retribution.html and https://www2.classics.upenn.edu/myth/php/tools/dictionary.php?method=did®exp=608&setcard=0&link=0&media=0 . See also my write-up of my own example of a similar Nemesis depiction on a coin of Philip I and Otacilia Severa from Mesembria, at https://www.numisforums.com/topic/10-post-it-and-pick-it/page/118/#comment-36751 . Looking closely at your coin, I also think that although they aren't clear, there may be measurement markings on the rod she holds in her right hand, which would make it a cubit rule. I've never heard of the word "arshin" before; it seems to be a Russian or Turkish unit of measurement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
