<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 7755710, member: 75936&quot;]I see a lot of coins where the name of the ruler doesn&#039;t appear on the coin at all, and yet it is attributed as &quot;X Ruler as Y&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>1. An example of Livia as Pietas (not my coin):</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/livia/RIC_0043.5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>2.
