<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8191244, member: 110350&quot;]I think the meaning of C G H I P is generally accepted -- even though in the reference works I&#039;ve seen it&#039;s usually rendered as C G I H P, namely Iulia Hadriana rather than Hadriana Iulia. But does anyone have any thoughts on whether RPC or Forvm is correct in their interpretations of the portion of the reverse legend reading DEO AE ƧVB -- i.e., as a blundered attempt at rendering DEO AESCVLAP, or as standing for “Deo Aesculapius subvenienti,&quot; meaning &quot;to Aesculapius, the god who helps”? None of the auction descriptions for the seven examples listed at acsearch addresses the issue. And as far as I can tell, RPC VI 3871 is the only reference work to list this type; it&#039;s apparently not in any of the SNG volumes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
