<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2317579, member: 76194&quot;]I was referring to the general history of Jupiter with the inscription IOVI CONSERVATORI in Roman coinage, and how it came to be. Please note it was not always depicted as the Emperor next to Jupiter. In the coinage of some emperors when IOVI CONSERVATORI was used the depiction was the same as in the Gordian III antoninianus, but other times Jupiter was standing by himself, and sometimes he was sitting down. In some instances he is holding a victory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way, S Severus was the first to put IOVI CONSERVATORI on a silver coin according to the Dictionary of Roman Coins, page 219, and Domitian was the first to use it, when he put it in a sestercius. I know Commodus also used it in a sestercius, but I&#039;m not aware of it becoming popular until after Gordian III.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
