A nice observation!

Proof that the ancients too were up to multitasking.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's also chewing gum!

Cologne 1016 that you cite seems to be from the same dies as your Dattari coin, but the situla was overlooked even by that diligent and sharp-eyed cataloguer, Angelo Geissen.
