Please add updates or make corrections to the NumisWiki text version as appropriate.
AMOR. - This legend is found inscribed above the figure of a horse, on a rare contorniate medal, published by Havercamp (Num. Contorn. fig. 10), and which he considers as either derived from the love, or attachment, which a master bears towards a horse that has carried off the palm of victory at the Vircensian games; or is used to denote the noble nature of that animal.
