Note |
The new photo of /1 indicates that the figure is female, so not the emperor. Original comment: The position of the coin on plate 32 suggests that Dattari thought the design showed Emperor and Alexandria, as is the description (‘Imperatore e Alessandria’). Emperor and Alexandria had appeared in year 19, but with the Emperor holding a spear. The figure on the r. does seem to be Alexandria (more clear on DS6947), as it seems to wear an elephant head-dress; and Alexandria often holds a vexillum. But the figure on the left is fully draped and looks more female; it holds its hand down (with what?): perhaps Euthenia with ears of corn?
