With these coins the emperor is saying he is out there defending the empire from the enemy at a time when the empire was in a much less secure situation than it was in the time of its height of power. It's very literal as compared to earlier coins where expressing conceptual ideas through the depiction of a deity was more common.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is very straight forward, I am the one standing between you and the enemy who would destroy all that is Rome.
