<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1792916, member: 19463&quot;]We need to remember that Roman religion was a great deal more complex than modern faiths (any group that has a special god to cover manure spreading qualifies as complex).&nbsp; Vejovis may have been paralleled with Apollo by some due to their appearances but people from regions that considered him a personal god would not agree.&nbsp; Lares could similarly remind you of Romulus and Remus or the Dioscuri but have secret meanings to those in the know.&nbsp; Dogs usually represent faithfulness or companionship but used with these twin guardians, I would take it as another line of defense.&nbsp; I&#039;d probably read the whole coins as a statement that Vejovis and Vulcan are asked to be the personal and faithful guardians of the moneyer or his family.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
