Peroni,
Do you have a picture of this signum that you can post?
Are you therefore suggesting that copying the straight tail from a coin on a Vex would be incorrect rather a curled tail is more accurate because it was found on a signum that could have belonged in the 2nd C AD where artistic rendering of certain creatures may have changed?
Coins would seem to reflect the artistic interpretation or trend of a period, no? i.e. a capricorn from the time of Augustus may be differently drawn than one from the time of Hadrian.
Thanks
