<p>[QUOTE="Caesar_Augustus, post: 3129322, member: 87659"]Very interesting. The inscription "SOLI INVICTO COMITI" translates to (according to the page below) to the unconquered Sun, minister [of the Emperor]. So it seems like the Sun "god" was subordinate to the Emperor, as if the Sun god was seen as less of a god. This may be an additional piece of evidence of the evolving religious culture of the Empire under Constantine as well. Just something I've been thinking about recently. </p><p><br /></p><p>The article I got the translation from is below. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=soli%20invicto%20comiti" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=soli%20invicto%20comiti" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=soli invicto comiti</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
