<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 4911652, member: 89514&quot;]I think that is not a snake in the architrave or frieze of Maxentius&#039; temple of Roma, but rather a wavy line with pellets under each crest and in every trough, an element that occurs quite often in Maxentius&#039; type, for example RIC VI, pl. 6, 208.</p><p><br /></p><p>Drost&#039;s book on the coinage of Maxentius doesn&#039;t seem to mention this architectural detail, but he refers to an article by Bayet in Revue belge de num. 1993 that contains an architectural analysis of Maxentius&#039; temple type so presumably comments on the wavy line. Unfortunately that particular RBN volume is not in Harlan Berk&#039;s or my own library, and I don&#039;t immediately find it online.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
