<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 763879, member: 6370&quot;]I was just reading the other day about coins like these which have the emperor on horseback as I have a Decius with a similar reverse. The material I read seemed to think most of these are supposed to be depicting the entry of the emperor into Rome (sometimes another city). He is usualy depicted on horseback with a raised sceptre.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>when an emperor ascends the throne he would make an entry into Rome and it would be full of pomp and circumstance and then they would mint coins to commemorate the event in silver and gold...this could be a commemoration of his ceremonial entry into Rome which was usually on horseback (sometime walking).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
