<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4853191, member: 111037&quot;]How about a gorgon? A mythological woman with snakes for hair and a look that will turn you into stone. There are plentiful coins in both Greek and Roman coinage with that theme and they look really cool. The Greek designs are better, and many of these coins are really old (older than the 4th century BC) which would provide you with a coin that can be a great study piece. Also, you can find really affordable examples with good details if you go for smallish coins like drachms and hemidrachms. I would suggest going for an Apollonia drachm, the gorgons there are quite funky <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Search terms are: Gorgon, Gorgoneion, Medusa.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my example (not an Apollonia one): A more playful Gorgon <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />~</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1171932[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
