Sap Moderator Australia 16817 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 04:50 am It seems Mr. Aemilian decided not to put all his eggs in one basket, in terms of whom he claimed divine protection from via his coins. Your coin is invoking Jupiter as his divine protector; mine is invoking Apollo. Guess you can't have too many gods on your side, when all the humans around you hate you. Reverse: APOL CONSERVAT, Apollo standing. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

I find it amusing how the emporer is depicted so tiny compared to jupiter looming over him like a child. It's like a reverse one one see for a young Caesar. I noticed hes holding a sacred orb as well! He looks like batman to me lol Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/24/2023 3:49 pm Here is mine, a VICTORIA AVG (RIC, Vol. IV, Part 3, #21). I won this as an unidentified coin on an ebay auction in 2016. The seller wrote of it, "I can't seem to match the letters up correctly so I won't even try to make the call this time."
