<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7440180, member: 110350&quot;]I understand, but a lot of references (including RIC) consistently get that wrong. They simply don&#039;t look closely enough, and miss obvious clues such as the Amazonian -- and usually very female-looking -- bare right breast, which seems to be present on your coin. Something not usually present when a male soldier is intended to be depicted! See the article at <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/reverse_virtus.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/reverse_virtus.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/moonmoth/reverse_virtus.html</a>. Yes, a parazonium, a shield resting on the ground with the edge showing, and a foot on a helmet, are also attributes of Virtus, but not all of them are&nbsp; always present. The bare right breast seems always to be present, though, and is a sure &quot;tell&quot; that the figure is Virtus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
