PANNONIAE


Please add updates or make corrections to the NumisWiki text version as appropriate.


PANNONIAE - The division of this region into two parts is characterised by two female figures, on gold, silver, and brass of Trajanus Decius. [See Decius Trajanus.]

The cause of this Emperor's attachment to these provinces is sufficiently obvious; for they were the first to proclaim his election to the purple, and it was to the fidelity and bravery of the Pannonian legions that he owed his victory over Philip.

Hence it was the peculiar care and pride of Decius to rescue or defend Pannonia from the incursions of the barbarians. - There is a similar reverse on a coin of Julianus the usurper.
[Eckhel, vol. vii. p. 345.]
