<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2715732, member: 44210&quot;]The Ostrogoths in Italy (493-553 AD) have a wolf and twins type with Roma facing right. Even though they were Germanic i.e. &quot;barbarians&quot;, the Ostrogoths were the legal power in Italy at the time, and the Roman Senate in Rome ultimately answered to the Ostrogothic king. So their coins are legitimate, official issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: just realized you probably meant the wolf itself, but hopefully this still is at least somewhat interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Under <u>Theodoric</u>, Ostrogothic Kingdom</b></p><p>AE half-follis</p><p><b>Obv</b>: IMVIC-TA ROMA, Roma helmeted, facing right</p><p><b>Rev</b>: She-wolf standing left, suckling Romulus and Remus, two stars above, XX in ex</p><p><b>Mint</b>: Rome</p><p><b>Date</b>: 498-526 AD</p><p><b>Ref</b>: BMC 30</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.cointalk.com%252Fproxy.php%253Fimage%253Dhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.cointalk.com%25252Fproxy.php%25253Fimage%25253Dhttps%2525253A%2525252F%2525252Fwww.cointalk.com%2525252Fproxy.php%2525253Fimage%2525253Dhttp%252525253A%252525252F%252525252Fi1197.photobucket.com%252525252Falbums%252525252Faa429%252525252FLurkingNinja%252525252FIMVICTAROMA_zps9c477875.jpg%25252526hash%2525253Dbce8ce552d6be0f29277faffe78a4c6a%252526hash%25253Dc510f677e6ecaf0fbe4a697ca3679987%2526hash%253D97f42883e05c9ebd98661c7415826d30%26hash%3D3b4d0ce1484c3f78cdf88045d4b7033e&amp;hash=e4622bc617a3b777e7d75f6be3e9b837" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
