<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ParisLS, post: 10370260, member: 91943&quot;]I started to wonder why Jupiter and Ganymede have long necks on my intaglio and whether this was the case in Rome at all.</p><p>In the end, it turned out to be very interesting! I attached two links about the long necks of emperors on Roman coins.</p><p>And I made an interesting discovery!!! On coins where emperors with long necks are depicted, Jupiter or an eagle is almost always depicted on the reverse side of the coin!! Apparently, emperors compared themselves to gods, and Jupiter was apparently once depicted with a long neck. But I did not find any information about this.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://classicalassociationni.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/standing-out-from-the-crowd-constans-and-his-go-go-gadget-neck/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://classicalassociationni.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/standing-out-from-the-crowd-constans-and-his-go-go-gadget-neck/" rel="nofollow">https://classicalassociationni.wordpress.com/2017/06/04/standing-out-from-the-crowd-constans-and-his-go-go-gadget-neck/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/long-neck.337783/#google_vignette" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/long-neck.337783/#google_vignette" rel="nofollow">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/long-neck.337783/#google_vignette</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
