<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2866648, member: 82549"]The fact that they are all from the same mint and thus likely the work of the same celator is significant. Victory has two wings. It's possible that the celator was trying to show the tip of the second wing. (Notice the border of dots along the edge of the left wing.) It's also possible that your interpretation is correct, but I would think that someone trying to show the hand of God would have made it more obvious, especially for these devout emperors. God was not very subtle back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
