Do you mean RIC II.3?
Roman Republic, C. Fonteius, AR Denarius, 114-113 BCE. Obv. Laureate, Janiform head of the Dioscuri, control mark N under left chin [mark of value...
Interesting article, although the very antiquated use of the term "race" as a purely ethnic/geographic/Italian vs. barbarian term, having nothing...
Thanks for the correction. But I would think that some of the information in the older RIC volumes on the number of institutions possessing a...
RIC offers no opinion on authenticity?
I think it's rather humorous that the seller says "19 sold, 5 available" -- as if the number of times he or she can sell access to pdfs is finite,...

But isn't the drapery, the cuirass, etc. what makes it a bust? Without that, it's a head. (Not literally, because the neck is there, but that's...

So it seems to be a previously-unrecorded variety!
Then it's not BMCRE 214 either, because that also has a different obverse legend -- the same one as RIC III 59 -- beginning with "IMP." For the...
It's RIC III 59.
I like the Galba portrait too. It's how I imagine him, at least. I also think Augustus and Caligula, among others, are quite recognizable.
OK, I guess Helena.
Unless that's Fausta or Helena, I have no idea. Even if I were right, I'm afraid I don't have the skills or the patience or the software to be...
The only other (relatively minor) issue I have is that the skin coloring is essentially speculative, except to the extent it follows...
