just wondering, what is Roma doing, blow or whistle?

Interesting! But it doesn't look like depicting of air which comes out of mouth (like in comic books). Rather like a special sign. Some kind of abbreviation? Or sign of tone of particular melody? Maybe Roma is speaking something.

Yes, exactly! It looks like a cartoon!  :)
Maybe it represents the front side of a ship (like on the Republican  bronze coins), but I have no clue why?  ::)

I am pretty sure that it is meant to be the back of the chair/throne she is sitting in.

Well, you are probably right (the comic book has gone). But it is the most vaguely sketched throne I've ever seen.
