- Abstract
- The history of ancient Rome is inextricably linked with its wars. Throughout its 13 centuries of existence, the Roman Empire fought many conflicts, the multiple victories of which contributed to its extension and its sustainability. Several aspects of these wartime periods can be illuminated through the iconography of the reverse side of coins. Deities and personified abstractions occupy an important place. From the 'Roman Imperial Coinage' (RIC) catalogue and throught the study of means of representation (positions, attributes, etc.) on the coins of 4 emperors (Vespasian, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius), it's possible to determine the most frequent figurations for each of them. Changes made by the leaders according to their affinities and the context of their reign are also noticeable. Numismatic works don't systematically explain this point, attempts at interpretation find their place.
