[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 4177689, member: 84905"]Very interesting write up. I thought that the legend "FIDES EQVIT" is local vulgarization of "FIDES AEQVIT". Both forms were used on the coins of Aureolus. It stands for "fides aequitas" and would thus not refer to the cavalry. This link argues for FIDES EQVIT to be an erroneous FIDES AEQVIT: [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3258828[/URL] On the other hand, there are legends like "VIRTVS EQVIT" and I have a "CONCORD EQVIT" and a "PAX EQVITVM" in my collection. These legends unmistakably refer to the cavalry.[/QUOTE]
