Jochen,
I
had the idea too to discuss about the synkletos-coins when I read the
thread about the demos-coins
https://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=27561.0I considered it a
good idea tho see each others demoi and to show the own (I don't have a demos). But since it is a phenomenon comparable with the depictions of the synkletos or the
boule or
Roma, it would even be worthwhile thinking about the origin of those and about the areas in which they appear. I don't know a study about this specific topic. By the way, I'm totally d'accord with
Curtis that synkletos is always the
Roman senate. I don't know a case (on coins, in inscriptions or wherever) in which it is not so.
Last but not least, one of my synkletoi, from Maionia,
