<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7614164, member: 74968&quot;]I believe it is a reference to agrarian themes that were also used on other coins of</p><p>Vespasian. In fact the agrarian theme was also extant on the denarii of Titus as well. While this could be referencing the agrarian roots of the Flavian dynasty, it might also be just good politics. I expect many would appreciate that it was the current dynasty that ensured that the population was fed. People tend to get a bit grumpy if you don’t feed them. When the population gets grumpy, bad things seem to happen to emperors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
