<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eyestrain, post: 1226517, member: 24213&quot;]I never considered a personification of a city or nation on a coin to be pagan. The practice may have started with pagan cultures, but was continued into the modern era by some decidedly Christian countries. Still, I guess you can argue that depictions of Roma or Constantinopolis in late Roman coinage makes them appear god-like, and maintains the tradition of personifying their capital(s) that dates back to the Republic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
