Attributes of Apollo that help identify him on coins are rather more varied than for most gods. Sometimes he is shown with a lyre as the god of music and poetry. Sometimes he borrows his sister Artemis' (Diana) bow and is shown hunting. He is accompanied by a snake either as the symbol of healing or representing the 'dragon' Python which mythology credits him slaying. Out of the slaying of Python arose the Pythian oracle at Delphi which is represented with a tripod for sacrifices. The story of Apollo's love for Daphne and her being turned into a laurel tree is honored by coins showing the god with a laurel branch or wreath. Apollo is often shown nude posed in a graceful manner. There are a few coins that show a nude boy with a bow standing next to a tripod around which curls a snake and on which rests a lyre. These certainly depict Apollo. More commonly, we see a pretty boy with perhaps one of the attributes.
