[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 5461285, member: 75937"]That's very special and important and you should [URL='http://www.ric.mom.fr/en/feedback/cointype']report its existence[/URL] to the editors of MER-RIC. I have found previously unknown varieties before, particularly in the field of Roman provincial coins, and have submitted them for inclusion into online databases. The only Roman imperial issue I have found that truly was previously unknown is this denarius of Faustina I with the PIETATI legend, but this is probably an unofficial issue. It may be unique. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/faustina-sr-pietati-avg-imitation-denarius-jpg.1208023/[/IMG] Faustina I, AD 138-140. Unofficial or imitative AR denarius, 3.19 g, 17.6 mm, 6 h. Ca. AD 145-160? Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: PIETATI AVG, Pietas, veiled and draped, standing left, dropping incense from right hand onto lighted altar and holding box in left hand. Refs: Cf. BMC p. 67, † note, RSC 234b, CRE 113 and Strack 462 (Budapest), all of which read PIETAS AVG.[/QUOTE]
