<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2915205, member: 19463&quot;]While I admit there are coins with legends that read Mars and show armored figures, I can&#039;t explain why an immoral god needs a shield.&nbsp; The nude figures like this Philip II reverse can only be the god since nudity was a standard attire for gods and demigods but not humans on coins.&nbsp; When we see an armored figure with a legend Mars Propugnator, must we assume the figure is the protector rather than the protectee?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
