<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Voulgaroktonou, post: 8353699, member: 84047&quot;]Actually, most Roman coin inscriptions are in the nominative case; there are exceptions, of course, most notably being those of Trajan, where his name and titular are in the dedicatory dative. I have even seen one or two &quot;Greek Imperials&quot; with the emperor&#039;s name in the accusative case, but I can not recall from what city. </p><p><br /></p><p>If they were literate, contemporary users would have readily understood the grammatical nuances of the use of the oblique (i. e., non-nominative) cases. For Latin and Greek, being inflected languages, the changing ending of nouns obviates the need of prepositions such as &quot;to&quot;, &quot;for&quot;, &quot;with&quot;, etc., upon which English relies to structure a sentence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
