[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 26542682, member: 87809"]This coin was in a multiple lot and the flip it came with says the reverse is Nemesis, but I I think this is wrong; the goddess is holding a snake and is feeding it from a patera therefore it should be Hygieia (Salus). Do you think I'm right? AE Assarion Thrace, Philippopolis, 217 - 218 AD 18.89 x 19.11 mm; 4.267 g, 1h Varbanov (English, Vol. 1) 1747; RPC VI 601 (temporary number); Varbanov, [I]Philippopolis [/I]XVII.33.1 Obv.: AVT K M AVΡ ANTΩNINOc the small c is on the left tip of the drapery) Laureate, draped bust of Elagabalus to r. Rev.: ΦIΛIΠΠOΠOΛEITΩN NEΩKOΡ in field Ω-N (of the Philippopolitans, Neokorate) Hygieia (Salus) standing to r., feeding serpent in her l. arm from patera in r. hand.
