<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David Atherton, post: 7387228, member: 82616&quot;]Hendin has quite a lot to say actually (pp. 415-419). His basic theory is that it and the other types are messages intended for the local populace and continue the Judaea Capta propaganda of Vespasian and Titus. Carradice and RPC disagree and place the types in a more generic imperial setting.</p><p><br /></p><p>I take a middle approach - I&#039;ll accept the palm tree as a Judaea Capta, but I&#039;m not convinced that the trophy and victory types are as well. I&#039;m more inclined to think the trophy type at least is an allusion to Domitian&#039;s victories in Germania, although (like Hendin) I have no evidence to back it up![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
