<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 4640276, member: 74834&quot;]Here is my only Roman omphalos, a bronze of Nakrasa in Asia Minor. You see the stone omphalos, the navel of the world, encircled by a snake. </p><p><br /></p><p>AE pseudo-autonomous AD 100-150. Nacrasa, Lydia, Marcus Junianus, strategos. Obv. Bearded god Heracles t.r. EΠI CTΡA MAΡ IOYNIANOY. Countermark on neck: amphora? Rev. Serpent coiling all around omphalos NAKΡA/CITΩN. 15 mm, 2.58 gr. <a href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/1812" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://rpc.ashmus.ox.ac.uk/coins/3/1812" rel="nofollow">RPC III 1812</a>. The coin is almost broken, but attractive enough, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1146771[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Next: <b>a nice clear omphalos on a Parthian tetradrachm. </b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
