<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2332162, member: 42773&quot;]You found yourself an excellent example of the type, Z. Congratulations! As far as the discussion concerning McGregor&#039;s interpretation of the reverse, you have to understand that Christianity was not at all mainstream when this coin was minted. In fact, the use of pagan symbols to subtly suggest a tack in theology makes perfect sense in the context of a mostly pagan culture. Constantine may have had his personal religious convictions, but he also understood that Roman society in general was not ready to accept them blatantly stamped on a coin. That would come several emperors later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
