Congrats to your son Eduard. You must be very proud.

 

Congratulations @Eduard on the success of your son! It is our children that are our legacy and its a great thing to see them succeed.

Here, in celebration, is my favorite VICTORIA:

I would ideally very much like to thank each one of you individually for your well wishes. However, if you allow me I will do it collectively, and specially on behalf of my son, Daniel. He was very touched by your words.

Thank you, my friends!

Congratulations to your son. Bing's coin brings up a point I always enjoy because of its connection to the US Army and the medical profession. Something like a hundred years ago an Army officer got a bit confused and decided the Medical Corps should use the two snake symbol of Hermes/Mercury when he should have selected the one snake staff as carried by the god of medicine Asclepius. In recent decades, many but not all, medical groups have corrected the error but we still see the caduceus with too many snakes used by people who should know better.

Asclepius is shown on provincials of Caracalla from Serdica and of Gordian III from Hadrianopolis. One snake.

Hermes on Gordian from Philippolis has two snakes:

 

Doug is right (as usually )Lots of snakes on this coin , but only one on the staff of Asclepius:

 

Congratulations!! In a time when there
is so much bad going on, especially with the
younger crowd, you and your family must
be very proud. I salute your son on a job
well done and I salute his parents for raising
a fine young man. Thank you!!

 

Congrats

 

Congrats Daniel! Your dedication, endurance, & knowledge will result in a fabulous gift to humankind!
