[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 3257065, member: 99456"]Thanks [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER], your post on the Asklepian snakes is a great read, and the collection of snake coins very nice as well - the Gordian and Gallienus especially grab my attention and the Maximinus above! Interesting to think of snakes as healing medicine and support for the sick, or protectors of the home as in these recently uncovered Pompeii frescos: [url]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/10/05/enchanting-roman-villa-adorned-writhing-snakes-peacocks-discovered/[/url] [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] Great Salus on that Elagabalus![/QUOTE]
