<p>[QUOTE="PepperAnna, post: 4424841, member: 17332"]Hi @ MaJa - Nice cufflinks!! Mercury or Hermes is correct. He has his caduceus, pitasos (hat), satchel, and traveler's cloak. The one on the right is Mars, specifically Mars Quirinus - the god of peace through combat. He has his helmet, a branch of laurel, and I think a shield behind his chair. And I think he is holding his spear on the right. Here is a coin that has a similar depiction.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]378140[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I like the chain backings that terminate in snakes. That is a nice touch. Very Victorian.
