<p>[QUOTE="Ancient Aussie, post: 3643092, member: 80147"]I think the symbolic elephant goes right back to bad guy Hannibal with elephants attacking good guys Rome (symbolized by the snake) and later on Caesar using it as a form of propaganda, the god of war Minerva protecting Rome (snake) against bad guy Pompey. Only a guess. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
