[QUOTE="finny, post: 4771124, member: 114280"][ATTACH=full]1162128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162129[/ATTACH] Here's a coin I recently identified. I was looking through snake coins on Forum in order to id a couple of my other coins. I didn't even realize there was a snake on this one. Obverse: A girl entangled with a snake, amphora at her feet. Reverse: A curved blade with E and T in the field. The legend goes that 2 men encountered the girl and snake. When they used a knife to try to kill the snake they were unable to and the snake announced that it was a god. The snake and girl procreated and the resultant line was the people of Etenna in Pisidia.
