<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 7640173, member: 75937&quot;]They are part of the legionary series. The key feature of the zoo series is that their reverses plea to one of nine Roman deities, asking for their protection. The legend on the reverses of the coins translates as &quot;To (the named deity) Preserver of the Augustus.&quot; In addition to this plea to a deity, they depict a creature associated with that deity. For example, the NEPTVNO CONS AVG coins depict sea creatures associated with Neptune: capricorns and hippocamps. The DIANA CONS AVG coins depict various antler-and-hoof animals associate with Diana: stags, does, antelopes, gazelles. IOVI CONS AVG depicts a goat, because goats are associated with Jupiter (Jove).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
