[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3308782, member: 88829"]Nice examples, RC. My collection is limited to denarii, but there were quite a few AETERNITAS reverses showing various aspects of that deity among the others. First to show, however, is the cosmic version with star: Faustina I (veiled) BMC 293 (RIC III 355) [ATTACH=full]876610[/ATTACH] You mentioned that your first example had an equivalent in the earlier DIVA AVG FAVSTINA series. I have one like yours, with the goddess holding a phoenix, for the DIVA FAVSTINA series, but for the earlier series I show one where the goddess is holding an orb (perhaps with a zodiac equator?) and staff/scepter: Faustina I (veiled) - BMC 291 (RIC III 350a) [ATTACH=full]876611[/ATTACH] Next up is a DIVA FAV - STINA obverse break pattern with a reverse in which the goddess holds an orb and rudder: Faustina I (veiled) BMC 366 (RIC III 348) [ATTACH=full]876612[/ATTACH] This next example is shown here veiled, from the late DIVA FAVSTINA series, in which the goddess appears to be waving or simply extending her right hand, while holding a staff/scepter slightly up in the air with her left. I also have this type without veil on the obverse. Faustina I (veiled) BMC 353 (RIC III 345) [ATTACH=full]876613[/ATTACH] I have a few other varieties of the obverse and/or reverse types if others do not show them.[/QUOTE]
