Professor Yarrow has been working on my list of 10 Crawford numbers that I discovered are missing from the index, and has a new blog post up...
That's what I meant -- I should have said "looks like the same type." Sorry for the ambiguity!
Feel better soon!
The Trajan coin looks like the same one discussed in the Forvm article.
Steven, perhaps this is one simple solution: each time you ask for assistance in identifying a coin that you have up for sale or plan to put up...
This is the specific passage from the article at FORVM that I quoted earlier in the thread, addressing the tension inherent in having a female...
An excerpt to the same general effect from the Google Books preview of the same book -- Myles McDonnell, Roman Manliness - Virtus and the Roman...

For the record, another one I looked up that's also missing from the index (and, I presume, the binders): Crawford 378/1c, C. Marius C.f. Capito,...
You and I very much agree, but I don't think we're ever going to get the RPC people, or other catalogers in general, to agree that there were...
I see that you've adopted the practice of referring to coins like this as "Roman Republican Provincial," rather than the traditional "Greek." I...
