hi chat here are a bunch more roman personif coins

and closeups on some of the personif parts (theyre out of order im sorry)

everything from this roman coin database

and keywords (search the inscriptions e.g. dacia capta) from the hadrianic school by jocelyn m. c. toynbee

i would really like to see more images for overtly conquered guys who aren’t dacia but the book’s focusing on hadrian casting himself as a nice guy so im not getting a lot of that rn

#OTJ #old otj #nationspirits #<- they are specifically nations not provinces #old otj art archive #ART!#STJ #personifwhump tag #also toynbee consistently uses old otj prns. explained by the fact that shes writing in 1937 but its just the cherry on top

germania on guard by the rhine, hermann wislicenus (1873)

I have a few things for ya. These come from the book “The Art of Ill Will: The Story of American Political Cartoons” by Donald Dewey

FWIW, these are some of the “less racist” ones documented in the book. 😬 Needless to say, a lot of depictions of POC of that time, especially in political cartoons, were not particularly kind.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU will be reading. and noted

Greek/Roman The Hadrianic School by Jocelyn Toynbee The Temple of Hadrian in Rome — Campania Sacra Personifications of Countries and Cities

roman defeated personif iconography that i like for normal reasons

regarding this woman:

from Simulacra Gentium: The Ethne from the Sebasteion at Aphrodisias (anna’s archive has it)

and some coins (all of these except the crocodile are dacia)

oh also i don’t think this is strictly personif but here’s Victory straight up trampling a guy

two more. trajan standing over armenia and the euphrates and tigris rivers in the first and woman who may be sarmatia tied to the tropaeum in the second

(everything through wikipedia)

and generally being seated and wearing native dress indicates recent submission. standing in greco-roman dress indicates assimilation and faithfulness to the empire

uhhhhh it’s definitely in bad taste to do personifwhump with otjs so consider this to be an stj reference post
