<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3953649, member: 98035&quot;]To embellish a bit more - Mars Ultor was created by Augustus as the embodiment of the idea that any defeats suffered by Rome would be avenged swiftly. Specifically, this referred to the assassins of Caesar who were defeated at Philippi, and also the lost standards that were recovered from Parthia and kept in the temple of Mars Ultor - these are visible on a handful of early coins depicting that temple. Like all of Rome&#039;s treasures, these were lost when Rome fell to the barbarians.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
