<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2845513, member: 87186&quot;]What if those &#039;wreaths&#039; are snakes going around? I do not see any wreaths of two rows. Those things look like really long spermatozoa. Not to be gross, but they make highly stylized appearances in some of my artwork. It&#039;s one of G-d&#039;s really great designs especially for locomotion. After all, who is the best engineer? Well, I digress.&nbsp; So I started thinking &#039;snakes.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p>And something makes me want to turn the coin 90 degrees to the right even more than before. When I do, those two rows of &#039;letters or words&#039; start looking to me like torches or sticks with a snake on each.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think they are caduceus (is that plural?) because I do not see wings. Rods of Asclepius? Could the coin be from Judea showing the pole Moses erected in the camp that had a bronze snake on it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a link to something with snakes:</p><p><a href="http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=25872" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=25872" rel="nofollow">http://www.ancientimports.com/cgi-bin/lotinfo.pl?id=25872</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
