<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1813651, member: 42773&quot;]The bull was an important symbol to the cult of Mithras. Vespasian took the title Pontifex Maximus in 71, and a number of types that followed suit are distinctly religious. That&#039;s not livestock on the coins. But the bull may have a double meaning - it may also refer to earlier Republic and Julio-Claudian types. There&#039;s a class of coins RIC identifies as restoration types - a return to &quot;real&quot; money after the debasements of Nero.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
