Sors

RRC 405/2 (older posts on RRC 405)

The reverse image is taken to be either the personification of Sors (the god of Lots) or a representation of the child tasked with drawing the lots at the oracle (Likely at Praeneste for Fortuna).

TIL we have the type of object surviving that would have been drawn at this type of oracle AND not only that at least one is likely republican in date based on spelling and letter forms.

BnF (wish I could find the Gallica link, but so far no luck)
