The Rules

I like the avatar topic so much that I make a poll of it. I ask you for the avatar you like the best among all avatars used in the first half of this month. This poll will run as long as indicated below the poll question. "This month" is the month in the title of this thread.

You can vote for 10 avatars, including the top 5 of last month (numbers 1 through 5 in the list of candidates above) and 5 new entries, which were found in the previous "Avatar of the Month" thread. (Numbers 6 through 10 in the list of candidates above)

If a candidate changes his avatar during the poll his votes will be annihilated. A change of avatar has occured when the picture in the list of candidates at the beginning of this posting has disappeared.

Only if there are more than 25 votes this month, there will be a poll next month as well.

The top 5 avatars from this poll will be candidates in next month's poll as well, provided that they have not changed in the meantime.

The top 5 avatars are found in a ranking process: The more votes, the higher the ranking.
If 2 or more avatars score even in the number of votes, their ranking depends on the order of appearance in the list of candidates: The lower the position in the list of candidates, the higher the ranking.

5 new entries to next month's poll will be found in this thread.

The registrated forum visitors are invited to nominate avatars, which are not in the list of candidates above. You can nominate only one new entry.

A nomination is a posting in which a registrated forum visitor writes that he/she nominates a certain avatar. Nominations can be made until 240 hours after the poll's end and only in this thread.

Avatar owners from the list of candidates, who have changed their avatar, cannot be nominated this month.

If a user, whose avatar has been nominated as a new entry, changes his/her avatar, which is indicated by the disappearance of the picture from the list of nominations, his/her avatar cannot participate in next month's poll.

The 5 new avatars for next month's poll are found in a ranking process: The more nominations, the higher the ranking.
If 2 or more avatars score even in the number of nominations, their ranking depends on the sequence of their nominations: The sooner the first nomination of an avatar, the higher its ranking.

The sequence of the avatars in the list of nominations corresponds with the temporal order of their first appearance in this list.

All Italians are going to vote Flegiàs'.
It's because an affective matter, only if you were a kid in the '80s (in Italy) you are able to stand it.
The coin in the avatar was a "phone coin" , it costed LIT 200 and sometimes it was used as a regular method of payment.
We hated these coins but now we miss them.

(It's a little unfair... how can we vote a Lira symbol when we are here to support Euro?)

MorgenSchatten well explained what my avatar means, a phone coin, I would like to explain what "Flegiàs" means:
he is a character of dante's inferno, a demon who carries on his boat dante and virgilio over the Stygian marsh.
Flegiàs is very similar to the more famous Charon, another demon who carries on his boat the souls of the damned over the Acheron river. here are two wonderful engravings of Flegiàs and his passengers by Gustave Doré.

I like History "in things" (such as avatars!! ) I suppose that Charon may be the same as "Caronte" in Spanish

yes, charon = caronte (also in italian) by Gustave Doré

You suppose well, but, talking about Flegias and Charon, I could say "What's, the Hell, is written so little?"

In Latin he was Charon, Charontis

Thanks for your comments. Interesting

Charon erat portitor antiquorum Graecorum fabularum qui mortuos recentes trans flumen Acherontem in inferis situm traiecit.
Parentes eius erant Erebus (deus tenebrarum primordiarum) et Nox (dea noctis). Fratres et sorores eius: Ker, Moros, Hypnos, Aither, Hemera, Thanatos, Hesperides, Momos, Eris, Moirae, Nemesis.
Officium Charontis erat mortuos recentes trans flumen Acherontem traicere, dummodo iter nummo solvere possent. Ob eam rem Graeci mortuos nummo (obulus appellato) sub linguam posito sepeliverunt. Illi sine tali nummo centum annos in ripa Acherontis exspectare debuerunt.
Quosdam trans flumen sine obulo traiecit, e.g. Heraclen, Aeneam, Theseum. Aeneas Charontem ramo aureo corrupit. Heracles autem portitorem sic terruit ut ille eum traiceret. Quamobrem Hades, deus Graecus, eum punivit unum annum Charontis catenas iniciens.
Sunt qui dicunt flumen esse Styx, non Acheron, probabiliter ob mentionem huius a Vergilio factam (cf. Aeneidos, liber 6, versus 299). Sed plerique auctores, inter eos Pausanius et Dante, id negant.
