Also below is one error coin where the &#039;B&#039; (2) was engraved retrograde.&nbsp; Shop three was used for Philip II and four was Otacilia.</p><p>A soldier (clothed)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174023[/ATTACH]</p><p>B Tranquillitas</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174024[/ATTACH]</p><p>B retrograde</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174025[/ATTACH]</p><p>E two emperors on horseback</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174026[/ATTACH]</p><p>S Nobilitas</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174027[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>gamma Philip II Mars (nude)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174030[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>delta Otacilia Severa Pietas</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174029[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no answer for why these numbers were assigned to the rulers but note that the other, Roman numeraled, Saeculares series used the same system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
