It has the reverse <i>inscription</i> of <i>BMCRE </i>#10, but with the reverse <i>type</i> of #22; (tripod with fillets streaming out l and r, on which is a dolphin, as on no. 4) This combination of reverse inscription and reverse type is not listed in any of the standard references. It is a close variant of <i>BMCRE</i> #10 for Domitian, so I have dated it to the same time frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>On that last one, tell me what you think from your experience with these. This combination is unknown in <i>BMC</i> and <i>RSC</i>.&nbsp; In the new RIC vol II&nbsp; it is a variant of #38, I think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
