Obverse Analysis
Your long written analysis of the imagery of the obverse of your coin.
The legend from the obverse is a bust of Arcadius. The legend that is on it means Our ruler, the pious and happy Emperor Arcadius. Just like the other coin. Arcadius is wearing the pearl diadema. The diadema was a crown that was worn on the head. According to legend, the diadema was first worn by the god Baccus. The diadema was worn by other gods, and was a status symbol. It showed that the person wearing it was not an ordinary citizen.
Reverse Analysis
Your long written analysis of the imagery of the reverse of your coin.
The reverse of the coin has Victory holding a trophy and carrying a captive. Victory was originally a Greek goddess, more specifically the goddess of victory, and was taken from the Greeks by the Romans. The legend means health to the republic.
