Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES.
We love puzzle caches, even those that take hours, even days to solve. Do any of you, like me, ever wake up in the middle of the night with the solution to that puzzle that's been vexing you for weeks? Well, this one's for you! The cache is located less than a 1 minute drive + 2 minute walk from Highway 12 in Central Park. The rating is based on puzzle difficulty alone. The cache is a 50 cal. ammocan.

This puzzle is based on one of my hobbies, perhaps the most common worldwide. It will not be easy...even for all you "Googlizers" but you will know when you arrive at the solution!
Here are the coordinates:

A=Victory draped, flying, wreath, palm.
B=ADLOCVT, haranguing five soldiers on platform.
C=domed hexastyle temple, Vesta seated, patera, long sceptre.
D=elephant, simpulum, axe, sprinkler, apex.
E=tribute penny.
F=Livia standing to the left.
G=tribute penny.
H=BRVTVS, trophy.

FREE HINT: Determine which of the above clues does not belong with the others. That one will default to a "zero".

Now, plug your digits into the following:N 46°5A.BCD' W123°4E.FGH'
