<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3166675, member: 56859&quot;]Sev, when you started talking about the possible meaning of the elephant trampling the snake I was very taken aback by the line of thinking and railed against it. No! No no no! <i>The snake is Gaul and Caesar is the elephant!</i> Or that&#039;s what I vaguely thought I&#039;d heard people say it meant. I couldn&#039;t image Caesar wanting to put his <i>enemy&#039;s</i> symbol on his coin! By the end of your discussion you won me over and I realized how biased I am in my modern thinking.&nbsp; We have to try to understand what people <i>of that time</i> knew, saw, and understood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bravo! Fantastic writeup.&nbsp; I hope you repost it in its own thread after the tournament so it can be a Featured post.&nbsp; Unbeatable history, fabulous price.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to borrow this writeup for my website if you don&#039;t mind <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>P-man, that&#039;s a <i>gorgeous</i> example of the classic Athena/Nike AV stater.&nbsp; Did you have a particular issuer or style in mind when you hunted for one, or did this one simply grab you for its undeniable beauty and grade?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
