Salve,
The time period I’m looking to represent is very late Republic to very Early Empire …. Perhaps 60 BC to 10 BC.
The reason for looking for a short abbreviation is really due to space, I would presume that a moneyer could have written out everyone’s full name if there was enough space to due so.
I already completed the VICT MAR and VICT CAE in small victory wreaths (similar to the VICT AVG victory wreath) on the visor. It had to due with space, how many letters I could fit, and basing my design on the Augustus example.
I was thinking of stringing together eight wreaths, with four on each side, on my helmet’s crest also. There is really no possible way to write their full names or aside from Mus, even the important part of the names.
I still have a few other ideas as well... the victory wreaths was just one of them but, I was uncertain about the Elder and junior abbreviations.
I'm still not sure how I'll do the crest yet though.
