<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2242938, member: 19463"]It would be very interesting to know the meanings, if any, of left facers over the years. Certainly there were times where both were issued regularly and some where left was the usual with right being rare. In a very few cases we have something that makes sense. When Constans and Constantius II started the Fel Temp Reparatio issues with three denominations, the middle size was left facing making the similar sized coins quite clearly separated. Several rulers have scarce to very rare left facers leaving us with the question why. I was not even aware of the Domitian option. I do have Septimius and Geta shown here often before. Hadrian is relatively common both ways but more common right while Nero still favors right but is closer to even. Is any of this random? Has anyone seen the question discussed in the literature?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
