<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 3658235, member: 80783&quot;]A little update (sorry it took more than a year but I had other things to do in the meantime):</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin here is now offered as a Sestertius of Gordian II, while in fact it is certainly Gordian I (a mistake often made, as I pointed out elsewhere). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]983362[/ATTACH] </p><p>How do I know? Because while it is of a different reverse type than the coins I showed above, it is an obverse die match to Coin Nr. 4 in the OP, which is a Sear-certified Gordian I.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now we know that (at least some and likely all) of the obverse dies that the Roman mint struck Gordian I´s rare Sestertii of the ROMAE AETERNAE type with were not exclusively used for that reverse type, while on the other that is the case with the equally rare VICTORIA AVGG Sestertii of Gordian II, which are all from one single obverse die, as I discussed in another post.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I keep working at this speed, it will take 200 years to finish...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
