<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 5188896, member: 89514&quot;]Roman Collector&#039;s missed Faustina denarius hammered for 475 euros, certainly a high price for a common-looking coin! From different dies both sides than the Bologna spec. cited by Strack 494 and illustrated by him on his pl. VII, already mentioned by Roman Collector.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to admit that I overlooked this coin in the sale, though Naumann&#039;s text correctly signaled its rarity. However I would not have bid 500 euros for it anyway! I happen to have the same coin but with FAVSTINA not FAVSTINAE in the obv. legend, Strack 509, again recording only one spec. (Sofia), likewise illustrated on p. VII, from different dies than mine.</p><p><br /></p><p>This rev. type of Faustina is usually labeled CONCORDIA. PVDICITIA on a couple of denarius dies may well just be an engraver&#039;s error. The same issue also contained a quite similar PVDICITIA type, standing left raising veil with one hand and skirt with the other, Strack 508, again ill. on pl. VII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
