The symbols on the shoulder of the she-wolf The most interesting symbolism nell'Vrbs with
Rome Capitoline she-wolf, is the frequent presence of some
symbols on the shoulder of the she-wolf. Signs are little visible, so can be analyzed only on coins of
good conservation. Probably it is marked to identify specific aspects of certain issues: timing, sequence of the same, engraver.
However, we remain in the case of hypotesis, because if they did, it would be logical that this marking appeared on all the issues: instead they are frequent in the series of
Nicomedia,
Thessalonica and Trier, but more
rare or even absent in those of other mints.
