<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1154558, member: 26302&quot;]You are right on the Valentinian and Magentius. Valentinian was Orthodox, and Magnentius was specifically trying to appeal to orthodox Christians to the detriment of Constantine who was Arian. The Constantius II I would need to look further at, my first guess would be either the Emperor was tryign to appeal to orthodox Christians in a certain area, or it was the die engraver added the symbols himself. I have seen wolf and twin commemoratives with the Chi Rho and that is assumed to have been added by the engraver as opposed to a centrally dictated type. The Constantine family were more about power in my eyes than religious dogma, and it would not surprise me to learn Contantius II was playing to a certain sect of Christians to ensure his power.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you think the Alpha and Omega has a different meaning Doug than what has historically been ascribed to it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, see all the fun that little reverse can stir up?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
