<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 24647148, member: 128351&quot;]Are you sure the personification is a captive? </p><p>Usually captives are seated or standing handcuffed, or sitting in despair with their hand on their face. They never look at the emperor. Captives are never kneeling, for since republican times kneeling is the attitude of kings (Aretas, Bocchus) or nations begging for peace and the status of &quot;friend and ally of the Roman People&quot;; it is also the attitude of a province about to be raised by the emperor (on &quot;restitutor&quot; reverse types).</p><p>On your coin, as well as on similar Trajanic coins, the personification is kneeling, facing a victory or the emperor, and extending arms before her. Is it a province or some entity about to be raised?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
