The Pax leaning on column type is likely based on a cult image while the legend &#039;PAX AVGVST&#039; advertises the emperor as peacemaker. This variant struck in 74 is fairly common but surprisingly missing from the BM.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to show your coins featuring Pax, or any other deities with a column.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
