<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3668364, member: 32619&quot;]I love these types!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some coins I think are relevant:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-175-septimius-thrace.6903/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;Septimius Severus, 193 - 211 AD</p><p>Æ 8 Assaria, 32mm, 15.31g, 8h; Thrace, Pautalia Mint.</p><p>Obv.: AV K A CEΠTI CEVHPOC ΠEP; Laureate head of Septimius right.</p><p>Rev.: OVΛΠIAC ΠAVTAΛIAC; Fourfold coiled <b>serpent</b> with erect head right.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s little brother:</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-62-commodus-serpent.3601/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Commodus; Philppopolis, Thrace; AD 180-192</p><p>AE, 4.07g, 18mm; 6h</p><p>Obv.: AY K? M?...-KOMOΔOC; laureate head right</p><p>Rev.: [Φ]ΙΛΙΠΠΟ[ΠOΛEITΩN]; bearded, coiled <b>serpent</b> with two head fins </p><p>Ref.: Varbanov 994 - Wildwinds offers no description of the legend. Looking at other coins the obverse description may read AY K AI AYP KOMOΔOC. The K on the obv is hard to read and the AI looks a lot like an M. My understanding is Varbanov is not clear on this coin either.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-131-caracalla-asklepios.4480/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Caracalla, AD 198-217</p><p>AE30, 14.9g, 7h; Thrace, Pautalia.</p><p>Obv.: AVT K MAVP CEV ANTONEINOC, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right.</p><p>Rev.: OVΛΠIAC ΠAVTAΛIAC, <b>Asklepios</b> standing front, looking left, leaning on serpent-entwined staff.</p><p><br /></p><p>How about a Hygieia? </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/media/jwt-180-caracalla-hygieia.7634/full" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Caracalla, AD 198-217.</p><p>Æ30, 16.2g, 7h; THRACE, Serdica.</p><p><i>Obv</i>.: AVT K M AVP CEVH ANTWNEINOC; Laureate head right.</p><p><i>Rev</i>.: OYΛΠIAC CEΡΔIKHC; Hygieia standing right, feeding <b>serpent</b> in arms.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
