    Next up...MOJO number two. A really nice piece. Got this on (and the Gorgon) off of Ardatirion also for a cash/trade (I think) deal.

    And The Final MOJO. This one i have been seeking for quite some time. I finally found one that I liked, that was from Pergamon and one I could afford without having to sell it as soon as I got it..lol.



    Mysia, Pergamon
    AR26 Cistophoric Tetradrachm
    Snake in Cista Mystica inside wreath
    Snakes around bowcase ITEP left, TTA/TTPY above, serpent staff right
    aVF
    SNGCop 439


    Pergamon is mentioned in The Revelation of St. John, Chapter 2 verses 12-17. In verse 13 Jesus Says "I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is........". Some believe that this city is were Satan is/was seated. Other than the fact that it's HUGE (26mm) and and awesome looking coin, I am sure you can see why I wanted this piece.:
