<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4397851, member: 19463&quot;]Certainly some coins honor specific victories but I still believe many/most are a way of saying, &quot;Lady Victory, be with the Augustus.&quot;&nbsp; I do not see this as directed so much at the action that brought them to the position but looking forward to defeating enemies of Rome which is necessary if you are going to keep the job.&nbsp; How many emperors had a victory in a &#039;real&#039; civil war to celebrate?&nbsp; Septimius did. More got the office when the previous ruler was killed by friend or foe on short notice leaving the job to be had without formal battles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
