<p>[QUOTE="JulianIX, post: 3188865, member: 96184"]That's a fascinating interpretation. This history new to me. Thanks for writing. Recently, I was playing with an interpretation of the Constantine with Chi-Rho - Labarum - Snake reverse which went something like: "It is in the truth of Christ that the Emperor's armies maintain the health of the public." But I think the Christian evil snake is nearer the mark. although the ancients seem to have known full well that snakes can be healing as well symbols of eternal recurrence. Asclepius still in the bedrock of belief in 5th century Anatolia (I'm told)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
