Gods Goddesses and People

The gods and goddesses on the reverse of the coins are listed as their Greek parts with the Roman counterparts in parenthesis. The first instance of the name will link to Wikipedia or NumisWiki if an article is available. There are a couple of outside links when neither had any information. Certain items are also linked. If I have an example, they are linked after the line.
