[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 8251415, member: 80952"]This is what I think, but I am not an expert in this field. On Decius coins Dacia should be a woman (I think what she's wearing is a robe). On the Hadrian DACIA bronzes, I think Dacia is also a woman [ATTACH=full]1453847[/ATTACH] (not my coin, would like one but only saw 1 example in a deplorable condition in an auction). I don't think the Romans would have been very proud to depict defeated women on coins so this makes me believe that on this series all the reverse characters are men soldiers - captive or mourning. [USER=89687]@ominus1[/USER] - that's a good point with the bottom coin but I think that is because of wear ... looking at a well preserved example I think that is part of the armor [ATTACH=full]1453849[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
