<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wittwolf, post: 7947497, member: 116854&quot;][USER=112852]@Nathan B.[/USER] Ill try to deliver some answers but some of it is speculation:</p><p>1. Divus meant that he ascended to a godly status. If he would have become a god he would have been called &quot;Deus&quot;.</p><p>2. My theory is that the veil is part of the ancient roman priests clothing and you can see it on many reverses worn by the emperor because he is the &quot;Pontifex Maximus&quot; of the roman cults. I think the veil on this coin shows that noone was really sure if Constantine really was Christian or &quot;Pagan&quot; so he is displayed as Pontifex Maximus on the obverse but ascending to the Christian Heaven on the reverse.</p><p>3. You can see the Hand(s) but because the crude style you might didnt see it as hand. Ill just lend myself the pictures posted by [USER=85693]@Marsyas Mike[/USER] because you can see them really nicely there and apply my huge photo edit skills to make it more clearly <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1376512[/ATTACH]</p><p>4.&nbsp; He surely used it on parades, it was the preferred vehicle for the emperor on celebrations. There are even coins from his lifetime showing him riding a quadriga while throwing around coins to the people but I cant find a picture right now so Ill just add this coin (I dont own - Picture from CNG)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1376513[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
