According to Strack 753, there are specimens of this As with HADRI in Paris, Munich, and Vatican; and with just HADR in Berlin, BM, and Vienna.
Strack p. 138 recognized the crocodile under Hadrian's foot but thought the type couldn't belong to the travel series for numismatic reasons (die...
It would appear that the holed original from which the cast piece was derived shared both of its dies with the EF original that you also illustrate.
Of course we don't know any of those details, but I think that ignorance does not reduce the strength and plausibility of Mommsen's suggested...
Doug, Could you explain to us why you pass over Mommsen's theory that, as their legend declares, the denarii of Marcus and Verus were restored...
According to Butcher and Ponting, The Denarius in the Second Century, Num. Chron. 2012, pp. 73-4, the fineness of the denarius was lowered late in...
Looks like Göbl 634a, 57 specimens in his photofile, so Cohen was about right with "common". RIC 267 also lists the coin, citing Cohen 862 and...
New RIC 1497 is correct, rated Scarce. Cohen 137, only three specimens in Reka Devnia hoard.
Donna, I don't think the "anniversary" theory had been proposed by Mommsen's day. I doubt he would have been persuaded, however! If Marcus and...
What about Mommsen's explanation of these restored legionary denarii of Mark Antony, which seems to me convincing, unless it has been refuted by...
Donna, I think you meant "It's RSC (not RIC) III 213 (2nd ed. 1982), which = RIC 208(c)"?
Pete, I think that's not a billowing cape, but a second figure standing behind the seated figure and leaning forward, as clearly seen on the...
No fiddling, I think. The die axis of your coin is apparently 12h, so the weakness of the legend before the portrait corresponds to the missing I...
Blake, What mistake do you think you made? Your coin indeed seems to be RIC 509, but with corrections of two mistakes that Cohen 132 made....
Finn, Nice acquisitions! You wonder why Geta was proclaimed Augustus late in 209. A possible explanation occurred to me when I was corresponding...
ro1974's coin in Rome-mint style: RIC 920, rated "Rare", citing specimens in BM, Oxford, Vienna, and a private collection. This type for Domitian...
Other specimens from the same dies in my collection of plaster casts: Rome (Gnecchi) as illustrated above from Banti Paris (has S C!) Copenhagen...
GinoLR's "Monster": Two asses with the same counterclockwise obv. legend and bust type, but rev. FIDES PVBLICAE (sic, should be PVBLICA without...
For a detailed treatment of this reverse type see my thread INDVLGENTIA AVGG IN CARTH, on Forum Ancient Coins, Reading for the Advanced Collector,...
Presumably also McAlee 782c, if that's a star at the top of the wreath. Or 783c, if that's a star and if the emperor also has a fold of cloak on...
