[QUOTE="Steelers72, post: 4710046, member: 112504"]It is interesting how symbols and imagery were used in ancient coinage. The caduceus being the staff of Mercury, said to symbolize commerce and negotiation. Ironically, it is inappropriately used as a symbol of medical practice in the US. The bull representing strength, masculinity, virality and kingly power. [ATTACH=full]1155651[/ATTACH] Julius Caesar (49-44 BC). AR denarius. Rome, 42 BC, L. Livineius Regulus, moneyer. Laureate head of Julius Caesar right; laurel branch behind, caduceus before, dotted border. [I]Reverse[/I] REGVLVS, bull charging right; dotted border. RSC 27. Share your coinage with your favorite imagery; caduceus, Julius Caesar, bull or whatever you find interesting and why[/QUOTE]
