Abstract

Rimski je bog sunca Sol Invictus tijekom trećeg stoljeća učestalo prikazivan na reversima rimskih carskih kovanica. To je doba prožeto političkom nestabilnošću i učestalim izmjenjivanjem careva. Općenitim pregledom prikaza Sola na kovanicama i isticanjem pojedinačnih primjeraka tih predmeta objašnjena je važnost simbolike tog božanstva. Pomoću prikaza univerzalno prepoznatljivog božanstva poput Sola, carevi su nastojali legitimizirati svoje vladavine te uvjeriti kulturološki raznoliko stanovništvo carstva u svoje sposobnosti. U radu je podrobno objašnjena važnost motiva zrakaste krune koji se nerijetko veže upravo uz Sola. Također, istaknuta su i ikonografska obilježja prikaza tog božanstva, ali i njihova evolucija.

Abstract (english)

The Roman sun god Sol Invictus was frequently depicted on the reverses of Roman imperial coins during the third century. This period was marked by political instability and frequent changes of emperors. By providing a general overview of the depictions of Sol on coins and highlighting individual examples of these items, the importance of the symbolism of this deity is explained. Through depictions of a universally recognizable deity like Sol, the emperors sought to legitimize their reigns and convince the culturally diverse population of the empire of their capabilities. The paper elaborates in detail on the significance of the radiate crown motif, which is often associated with Sol. Additionally, it emphasizes the iconographic features of the depictions of this deity and their evolution.
