thx, more like the biblycal part not reference ect..

Except that given that Claudius founded the colony, and the rev. legend names DIVOS CLAV, the togate figure depicted as founder of the colony on the rev. must surely be Claudius I not Hadrian.

ok, thank you i'll correct it in my gallery.

what does Divos  mean the divine? as mail form of diva?

[curtislclay]

Yes, divos (old form) or divus (usual during the empire) means "deified", in the nominative case, masculine gender, singular.
