RIC II (2001) describes this series as "perhaps the eruption of Vesuvius that prompted the issue of the series of "supplicatio" coins showing the exhibition of the emblems of the gods on "pulvinari" in their temples. Thus, the thunderbolt on throne for Jupiter, the corn-ears on throne for Ceres, the shield on throne (used by Domitian) for Minerva, the dolphin and anchor may represent Neptune and the dolphin and tripod for Apollo. The wreath on curule chair is uncertain".

根據 RIC II（2001）描述此系列"也許是當時歐洲維蘇威火山的爆發，促使發行了這一系列的"祈願"金幣，這些幣顯示了祈禱神殿的標誌。因此，幣面的寶座上鑄有雷電和代表穀神星的玉米穗，代表弥涅耳瓦女神的神盾，海豚和錨可能代表海王星，而海豚和三腳鼎可能代表 阿波羅，椅子上的花環則不確定。
