RIC II 669, TOOLED, Rome mint, 9.525 grams, 28.8 mm, die axis 180^o, 125 - 128 A.D.; obverse HADRIANVS AVGVSTVS, laureate head right; reverse COS III, Salus standing right, holding snake in right hand, feeding it from patera in left hand, S - C (senatus consulto) flanking below center; ex Savoca Coins auction blue 89 (07 Nov 2020), lot 1240; estimated value: $80.00

Salus was the Roman goddess of health. She was Hygieia to the Greeks, who believed her to be the daughter of Aesculapius, the god of medicine and healing, and Epione, the goddess of soothing of pain. Her father Asclepius learned the secrets of keeping death at bay after observing one snake bringing another snake healing herbs. Woman seeking fertility, the sick, and the injured slept in his temples in chambers where non-poisonous snakes were left to crawl on the floor and provide healing.

To save money, you may COMBINE SHIPPING CHARGES for coins from multiple FORVM Auctions and also for coins purchased Forum`s fixed price COINS AND ANTIQUITIES CONSIGNMENT SHOP.

How To Bid
1.	Register for a Forum Ancient Coins account - if you haven't already.
2.	Login to your account - if you haven't already.
3.	Learn about the seller - Read feedback and ratings left by others to assure that the seller is trustworthy. Forum bans sellers that have customer complaints, but it is still a good idea to check the seller's feedback.
4.	Know the details - read the item description, seller terms, and shipping charges closely. Sellers are required to accept PayPal (and you should only pay with PayPal), to guarantee delivery, and to guarantee authenticity without a time limit. Read the sellers listing for other terms and return policies.
5.	If you have questions - contact the seller FORVM AUCTIONS before you bid (click on the seller's username to send a message to the seller).
6.	Place your bid! Bid the maximum amount you want to pay for the item. Your bid is an automated proxy bid and the amount will always be kept secret. The program will automatically bid for you, the lowest possible amount (one increment above the next highest bid), and only up to your maximum. If other bids are placed before the auction closes, the system will automatically bid for you again, but again only the minimum amount needed, and only up to your maximum. If someone else bids more than your maximum, you will not be the high bidder; to win, you will need to place a higher bid before the auction closes. If you are the high bidder at the end of the auction, you are the winner. As the winner of the auction, you only pay the lowest possible winning bid, which may be less than your maximum bid.
