<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4958296, member: 19463&quot;]One question that might arise is where we get the ID of that figure as Romulus.&nbsp; I suspect it is related to the Hadrian issue which identified the pose as ROMVLO CONDITORI.&nbsp; This also points out the advantage of collecting perfect aurei compared to circulated denarii.&nbsp; The spear point question is not aided by the silver.&nbsp; It would strike me that a point on both ends of a spear would be an advantage in battle but the cost might have limited such weapons to higher ranking combatants.&nbsp; This worn out denarius does show two parallel lines in the trophy in the place of the &#039;ladder&#039;.&nbsp; This suggests that the intent was there to show something specific.&nbsp; Is there a notable siege in the lore surrounding Romulus?&nbsp; Was there a statue of Romulus in Rome from which this pose was copied? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1191949[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
