[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3661474, member: 83956"]Those are illuminating questions, Sulla. I was not aware of the Maximinus II Daia use of the reverse type. And the Theodahad "reception" of a similar legend is also instructive. I don't believe he would have had any "co-emperors," making the plural PRINCIPVM a conventional choice by this time. I'm increasingly of the opinion that the legend began as a singular celebration of a singular victory of Constantine, and then morphed into a generic celebration of any and all victories by whoever happened to hold imperial office--any and all "princes." But my thinking is still evolving on this matter. Thanks for your input. Oh yeah--that 2009 thesis is Victor's. I've tagged him in this thread.[/QUOTE]
