Added a New Coin Depicting an Amazon to my Collection

[Blindado]

This new acquisition features a fairly historically accurate portrayal of a female Scythian horse warrior, who were the real-life amazons who inspired the Greeks and Romans.

AEOLIS. Kyme. Epirus Marcellus, procos III (69-96)
AE 19

Vespasian, ΘEON CVNKΛHTON
Amazon Kyme standing left, holding trident and globe, EΠPIΩ MAPKEΛΛΩ / KY

RPC III 970, SNG Copenhagen 144

It's hard to say for certain, but it looks like Kyme is wearing a Scythian pointed hat with ear flaps, trousers, and boots, which would make this a fairly accurate portrayal if a female Scythian horse warrior, who were the actual historical amazons. There are only two examples of this coin in acsearch.
