<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2674894, member: 32619&quot;]I would love to have one as well. Really I think I would like the big bronze one better. To date this has been my only Commodus and no mention of Hercules. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-62-commodus-serpent.3601/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Commodus; Philppopolis, Thrace; AD 180-192</p><p>AE, 4.07g, 18mm; 6h</p><p>Obv.: AY K? M?...-KOMOΔOC; laureate head right</p><p>Rev.: [Φ]ΙΛΙΠΠΟ[ΠOΛEITΩN]; coiled serpent with something in it&#039;s mouth</p><p>Ref.: Varbanov 994 - Wildwinds offers no description of the legend. Looking at other coins the obverse description may read AY K AI AYP KOMOΔOC. The K on the obv is hard to read and the AI looks a lot like an M. My understanding is Varbanov is not clear on this coin either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know what&#039;s in the snake&#039;s mouth?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
