Wreath With VOT X MVLT XX Legend Reverse Issued by Theodosius
This legend is usually something like VOT V MVLT X or VOT X MVLT XX on most of these types. The wreath types are very common and, like the altar with inscription types, were issued on the occasion of the emperor paying his vows every fifth anniversary of the beginning of his reign. The vows were a money sacrifice paid to the gods (later the Catholic Church) in thanks for the last five years and to ensure that the emperor would have a good reign during the next five years.
