[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 7972363, member: 87809"]Very nice left-facing busts:) Love those. Only have 2 Germanicus, the usual right-facing AE As RIC I (2nd edition) Claudius 106 struck under Claudius (picture courtesy Frank S Robinson auction 114): 28.5 x 29 mm, 11.426 g [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1382986[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1382987[/ATTACH][/CENTER] On the island of Crete, at Knossos, the duoviri Dossenus Pulcher and Varius issued a bronze coin showing Caligula’s head on one side and Germanicus on the other. It took me almost two years to nail down this attribution: Roman Provincial, AE 18 Crete, Knossos 37 – 41 AD 16 x 18 mm, 4.612 g RPC 995- 996; Svoronos Crete 209 or Svoronos 205, Pl. VIII, 18; Ob.: C CAESAR AVG (GERMAN)ICVS laureate head of Caligula right Rev.: GER CAESAR PVLCHRO III VARIO IIVIR laureate head of Germanicus right, star in front [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1382990[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1382991[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
