<p>[QUOTE="Vinnford Sansbury, post: 4812689, member: 114604"]Hello. I have a radically different theory about so called dancing man. I believe this is actually a spear thrower and the imagery of the coin may have even lent to the legends of Finn McCool who famously stabbed himself in the face with a spear on purpose to stay awake. Let's assume the snake is a spear, the other hand is a spear sling, and the tail thingy is a torc tied to his side. Imagine instead of dancing, he is winding up to launch a spear. Just a thought.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
