    @dougsmit, by searching OCRE, I found four examples of denarii with Dea Caelestis holding a thunderbolt and facing forward, at http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.ss.266_denarius, http://numismatics.org/collection/1935.117.477, https://www.ikmk.at/object?lang=en&id=ID66594&view=rs, and https://www.ikmk.at/object?lang=en&id=ID172876&view=rs. All under the same RIC IV-1 266 catalog number as the type I have, with Dea Caelestis holding a thunderbolt and facing right.
