It seems Von D. thinks these coins are related because of the similarities in design of the standards. He draws attention to the open, vertical coronae, the single phalera and the ships prow.<br>
I my opinion, this is quite correct for the two imperial coins, but the republican is, besides not being very well visible, missing an eagle, all standards end in spikes, no hands here, and the ships prow, if at all there, is possibly on the leftmost standard, not all of them, it seems.<br>
No text and the author says nothing about the other side of the coins.<br>
So, if no speculatores, back to Leg X Fret, or maybe the fleets?<br>
<br>
I have no idea what the mo( ) could be. Is it necessarily an adiective to praefecti?<br>
