<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 24816056, member: 111067&quot;]I received a coin this morning that the description for it states it as a triumphal Quadriga.&nbsp; It also states it is a scarce issue and is a special emission from Rome mint in 229AD. Unless it depicts victory over the Sassanids previously, I would have thought it is more likely to be the Emperor in a ceremonial quadriga. Either way, it appeals to me to have a horse drawn carriage that is not on a Republican coin. If anyone can shed more light on this issue, it would be fascinating to read.</p><p><br /></p><p>Severus Alexander. AD 222-235.
