@John Anthony Your Geta denarius with Janus reverse is a very nice example, but I think this is only a scarce type, not very rare, as indicated...
VOT X MVLT XXX for Theodosius at Antioch (RIC-57, in BM, not in Cohen) could be the same engraver's mix up as on your coin for Valentinian II at...
Is the reading MVLT XXX certain? Following VOT X, one would expect MVLT XX rather than XXX. I don't find the legend VOT X MVLT XXX in Bruck's...
Without having access to the book, I assume it contains a die catalogue. 465 will be the number of the die combination, struck from the two dies...
@Shea19, here, from CoinArchives, is the provenance Leu supplied for your coin: "From the S. Pozzi Collection, privately purchased from K. Alber...
Both very fine examples! Your Siscia coin appears to be RIC 222 (c3), not 223 (r5) as you state, the difference being that Roma on the obverse...
Dr. van Heech's response was simply, "OK and thanks for this interesting info!" I first wrote him about this matter late in 2020, but it was all...
From a recent e-mail of mine to Johan van Heesch, the prospective author of the revised RIC volume for the Antonine period: Yes, I have the...
Your Albinus: probably obv. die 76, rev. 119, new die combination. Sacrificial Implements was Caracalla Caesar's first rev. type, Spes his...

@DonnaML For my interpretation of the LAETITIA type to work, we will probably have to postpone Antoninus' tribunician day by a couple of weeks,...
@Julius Germanicus Your Caracalla Caesar sest. in my 1972 thesis catalogue: obv. die 256, new rev. die. I catalogued 13 sest. rev. dies of that...

As I wrote on Forvm: "I am inclined to think it's official. "It would be interesting if another coin could be located struck from the same obv....
Herennia Etruscilla As, RIC-136c: the omitted rarity code is probably just a misprint. Cohen's prices for bronzes of this type: Sest. 8 fr., dup....
COS II definitely means 139 not 138.
Both legends were intentional. HADRI changed to HADR towards the end of 138. However hybrids still showing HADRI after 1 Jan. 139 (COS II) are...
The same Strack number applies to both varieties. Those with HADRI are enclosed with brackets in the list of specimens.
Separate names with a comma.
