Here's a double die match to Doug's AVG. [IMG] An obverse die match but with INVICTO IMP TROPAEA II [IMG] an AVG II CO - TROPAEA [IMG] a COS...
So what is the purpose of the Dot? On the example iluustrated by @Severus Alexander the two dots appear between SE and V where the legend breaks...
It has a third dot in the L of CAE L. I don't appear to have an example from that overse die nor any others with a double dot there. Now another...
That is a nice, Rome mint example. A similar trophy type but with a single captive (sword beneath, shield in front) from the IMP II - "Laodicea"...
Curtis Clay has checked his cast collection for dies and has been unable to find this obverse die amongst them, So it looks like a previously...
They do look like the same die but the reading is clearer on yours. The number of variations is simply huge
The INVICITO IMP is an error that I haven't seen before but there are many many error variations with this type. This COS II is traditionally...
Will these do? L Papius Denarius Serratus Obv:– Head of Juno Sospita right, wearing goat skin tied under chin. Behind head, Shoe. Rev:– Gryphon...
I own one like yours but also have this variety. Obv:– IMP CAE L SPE (sic) SEV - PERT AVG COS II, Laureate head right Rev:– TR P III IMP V COS...

I like the intermediates but they are all on such tight flans.... [IMG] How about my transitional to the Pi type. Athens, AR Tetradrachm...
I will stop from going in to the later styles of Laodicea, where the types more align with those of Rome. These early series pose almost as many...
It is assumed that this IMP II series is followed by the L SEPT SEV PERT AVG IMP VIII series. This again is speculative but plausible. This...
The IMP series has several mis-readings in the standard texts. I think that we can assume that obverse legends ending iMP and IMP I and...
The main COS II series follows from the COS I. Some seem to hail back to the style of the COS and COS I examples above. [IMG] [IMG] Reverse...
There are a whole range of COS II issues that have shortened elements that seem to match closer in style to the IMP II series than to the COS II...
If we look at the COS issues, there are a whols host of odd obverse legends, with various endings that are thought to precede the large COS II...
The picture is even more complicated than that. There are two eastern mints using "IMP CAE L SEPT SEV PERT AVG". These are differentiated by...
I had originally believed my coin to be a die match to the Barry Murphy example. This is simply wrong. The legend spacing is different. [IMG]...
I seem to be building another sub-theme, which is the FTR Galley coins from Rome. I am now up to 10. Someof the differences in the sereis are...
