On other coins of this reign Eternity appears as a female holding a small round object surmounted by a Phoenix. Upon the coins issued in the name of Magnia Urbica, wife of Carinus, on which we see Venus holding a small round object which admittedly represented the Golden Apple, the Crescent frequently accompanies the representations of the Goddess of Love. On coins issued by Diocletian (A.C. 284-305) we see both Jove and the Sun-God holding a small round object; like the Emperor himself. A Victory in some cases surmounts it. The Sun-God Hercules holding a round object which admittedly signified the Golden Apple is to be seen on other coins issued during this reign. Among the coins issued by Diocletian's co-Emperor Maximian, is one bearing a representation of the Sun-God Hercules in the Garden of the Hesperides near the Tree encircled by the Serpent he slew. The Sun-God holds a round object representing a Golden Apple plucked from the Tree in question. On the reverse of another coin bearing the names both of Jove the All-Father and Hercules the Sun-God, we see the latter represented as holding a round object, admittedly meant for the Golden Apple. In some cases where Hercules holds the Golden Apple-for instance, upon a coin bearing the legend _Herculi invicto Aug_.--the Golden Apple is surmounted by a Victory. A coin issued by Constantius Chlorus, the ruler of Gaul and father of Constantine the Great, represents the Sun-God Hercules in the act of plucking a Golden Apple from the famous Tree. A coin issued in the joint names of Galerius and Constantius Chlorus, bearing the legend _Genio Populi Romani_, has in the field on the reverse side a cross, which takes the place occupied upon otherwise similar coins by a star-like object not improbably representing the sun. Such are the more striking features of the evidence which can be obtained from the Roman coins issued prior to the accession of Constantine to the throne of Gaul. The reader will have seen that the symbol of the cross occurs several times upon the coins in question, and in almost if not quite every instance in connection with the Sun-God. The fact that upon a coin of Julius Caesar, and therefore before our era, a cross admittedly occurs as a symbol of the sun, will also have been remarked. It will also have been noticed in how very large a number of cases the round symbol which was a precursor of our Coronation Orb admittedly signified the Golden Apple, and therefore was of phallic import. Another point which the reader cannot very well fail to bear in mind, is that where the Goddess of Love, as the representative of the sex whose felicity lies in motherhood or the victorious production of life, is seen carrying the symbol in question, the surrounding legend is Venus _Genetrix_, or _Victrix_, or _Felix_, or some variation or other of the same; and that the said legends are obviously phallic in signification.
