[QUOTE="Severus Alexander, post: 7758633, member: 84744"]That's a great depiction, and I agree that the serpent is mostly likely Glykon. I don't think the beard is a good indicator (serpents connected with divinity are standardly depicted with beards), but the fish tail seems to be pretty reliable. Here's the only coin I have where I'm pretty sure it's Glykon on the reverse. The fish tail is very clear, and the halo also seems to be an indicator: [ATTACH=full]1329758[/ATTACH] Moesia Inferior, Nikopolis: Geta; Varbanov 3284. 27mm, 11.11g.[/QUOTE]
