<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Trebellianus, post: 3124547, member: 91569&quot;]Very pleasant coins all round (and, frankly, I don&#039;t mind the car too much either)</p><p><br /></p><p>A question occurs: it seems like the eagle is quite an infrequent visitor to Roman coins (as in, coins of the mint of Rome), especially if you discount the consecration issues. Which feels a little incongruous seeing as the eagle tends to be regarded as one of the key items of Roman imagery (the <i>aquila</i> of the legions, etc.). Has anybody ventured an explanation for this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
