<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1330361, member: 26302&quot;]Like Doug said, its all over the board. Sometimes Victory is to celebrate a victory, (real or imagined), sometimes to hope or declare there will be victory, and sometimes Victory is just victory, (a coin type). Seeing how the Dacian war started in 101 I would guess at first it was hoped for, or promised, victory. The coins to specifically celebrate the Dacian victory were minted later, specifically mentioning Dacia. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe this doesn&#039;t help you specifically Swish, but more of a general agreement with Doug on the nature of such reverses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S. Btw I love victory coins. They are great to have around non-collectors, as everyone recognizes it as an angel. Its just one small bit of ancient culture that the christians coopted for their own use. Being just before Christmas right now, we are literally surrounded with ideas the christians have stolen to craft their holiday, (angels, date, christmas trees, etc). That is another topic though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
