<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 8003538, member: 42773"]I think Victory inscribing the shield with XXXX is a reference to public vota, and the design is probably inspired by various 4th and 5th century types where the inscription is explicit, i. e. VOT X, or VOT XX. As far as I know, Victory inscribing specific battles occurs only on certain 1st century types, like DE(VICTA) GER(MANIA) on coins of Domitian, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
