 Ancient Rome And Greece The swastika also appeared in ancient Greece, often printed on coins, as well as in Greco-Roman architecture as repeating or interlinking motifs. The symbol is believed to be used more as a representation of perpetual motion, such as with a windmill, rather than as a significant religious symbol. Thanks to: Theslo of Qualon cf.

Quote:@mariasuu Lovely! We also see Odysseus' reunion with Argos on coins of Limetanus RRC 362/1 pileus  Thanks to: Theslo of Qualon cf. Neat Pictures: added more! [adultish] A twisted thought, but perhaps Odysseus is in love with an argos, from the MONSTROUS MANUAL. Lovecraftian horror in Achaea...? Keep in mind that all of the heroes from DEITIES & DEMIGODS are alive, at the present time, on Aerth.
