[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 7465197, member: 75482"]The 1st image below of a reconstructed Roman stockade supports the RIC interpretation. Personally, however, I like to think of the design as a representation of Constantine's famous vision of a cross superimposed on the sun (Sol) - a sundog, perhaps?, 2nd image - which led him to victory at the Milvian bridge. I realize that a measure of wishful thinking is involved but I like to think it none the less. Either way, a desirable type. [ATTACH=full]1293136[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1293139[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
