However, the iconographic difference between municipalities and colonies was not absolute, since in both<br />
types of cities similar designs were also used, such as wreaths or bulls. The latter was depicted standing<br />
or walking (in Lepida also running) with or without pediment on the horns. This ornament, known in the<br />
Republican monetary iconography (RRC 455/4) and in reliefs (Ara Pietatis, Boscoreale cup, altar of Domitius<br />
Ahenobarbus), as a part of scenes of sacrifice, suggests the bull had a religious meaning (e.g. Tarraco,<br />
Caesaraugusta, Graccurris and Ercavica).<br />
