<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1964164, member: 42773&quot;]I won&#039;t spoil it, but thanks for sharing that one - I wasn&#039;t aware of it. Another unique legend got squeezed onto the Two Victories type of Constans: VICTORIAE D(OMINORVM) AVG(VSTORVM) Q(VE) N(OSTRORVM), or “Victory to our lords and emperors.”</p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s interesting to me about this legend is that the dative &quot;DOMINORVM&quot; is abbreviated by DD and the genitive &quot;NOSTRORVM&quot; by NN, making it VICTORIAE DD AVG Q NN. I wonder if the Romans abbreviated all their various cases by doubling the first letter of the word. Or is this merely an indication of plurality? My understanding of Latin grammar is poor.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]347169[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
