<p>[QUOTE="Archeocultura, post: 3661936, member: 97204"]It is interesting to see that Ferrando, in his extensive study of the mint of Arles, discards the non-helmeted issue and starts the VLPP series as late as 318 and gives a closing date in 319/320. That implies that there is no connection to any victory or celebration and would suggest an abbreviated singular text interpretation. The shield the victories hold is however inscribed VOT PR, which is a promise to the Roman people solemmly sworn on the altar which also makes part of the scene. In that respect the issue can be seen as a sign of 'Peace at last'.[ATTACH=full]984669[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
