[QUOTE="Jochen1, post: 3259473, member: 103829"]The same type as Antoninian from my Collection, RIC 329(a). [ATTACH=full]857086[/ATTACH] Roscher (Ausführliches Lexikon der griechischen und römischen Mythologie, Leipzig 1884-1937, online too) writes: Diana was the patroness of the biga race, Sol the patron of the quadriga race in the Circus maximus, following mythological beliefs. It would be nice to hear something about the meaning of the biga with oxen. May be that the horns of the oxen are an allusion to the horns of the crescent? Best regards Jochen[/QUOTE]
