<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2594481, member: 75937&quot;]It&#039;s not unusual for coins to depict the emperor as the sun and the empress as the moon. See, for example, this one of Augustus and Livia from Colonia Romula in Spain. The obverse depicts Augustus with a radiate crown and has a star/sun above his head, while the reverse depicts Livia with a crescent on her head.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]565248[/ATTACH]</p><p>Roman Provincial AE 31</p><p>Spain: Hispalis, Colonia Romula AD 14-29</p><p>Obv: PERM DIVI AVG COL ROM, radiate head of Augustus, right; thunderbolt before, star/sun above.</p><p>Rev: IVLIA AVGVSTA GENETRIX ORBIS, head of Livia left; globe beneath, crescent above.</p><p>Refs: RPC 73, SGI 189; Heiss p. 393, no. 2; Cohen p. 169, no. 3; Alvarez Burgos 1587; Lindgren II 69; SNG Cop. 421.25.70; SNG Tuebingen 118; FAB 1587.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
