He is normally shown helmeted and in full armour like <a href="http://www.finds.org.uk/romancoins/reverse_view.php?reverseID=5">Mars</a>. His attributes are also similar to Mars - a spear and shield or a spear and small figure of Victory. Virtus, however, is often shown holding a parazonium, a large dagger-like object that projects from the waist. He appears on coins between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.</p>Virtus.jpg2005-02-14 15:03:45virtueparazoniumhelmeted00000-00-00 00:00:000
