    Default Re: The Pritanoi Preview Appendix

    An interesting side-note, but the hand held 'crooked staff' on the last shown coin bears - at least to me - an distinct resemblance to an Etruscan lituus - the characteristic attribute of an Roman Augur - could it possibly be a interpretatio romana of an Celtic subject, based of supposed similarity of religious roles (Celtic vates ~ Roman (Etruscan) augur?)
