Salve,<br>
<br>
What are the reasons for considering the standards on the two imperial coins as related to the <i> speculatores</i>? Is there a text on the other side indicating a link with these troops or is the relation inferred from the type of standard?<br>
<br>
There is an inscription which has a career including a position as <i> speculator</i> and an unclear post with the Pontic fleet.<br>
<br>
AE 1968, 497: [...] Celerem qui militavit decurio / [...e]t spec(ulator) et mo( ) praef(ecti) clas(sis) Po(nticae).<br>
<br>
Any idea what the <i> mo(?)</i> could be?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
