<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 3627063, member: 75937&quot;]In the course of researching the various reverse types of sestertii of Julia Mamaea, I am not convinced that RIC 699/Cohen 66 (VENERI FELICI, Venus standing left, holding statuette and scepter) actually exists. RIC cites Cohen, but does not illustrate the coin. It is not unusual for Cohen to list coins that are incorrectly described or unofficial.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is not to be found in the British Museum collection, on acsearchinfo, Coin Archives, The Coin Project, Coryssa, Wildwinds, or at V-coins. The <a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.sa.699" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.4.sa.699" rel="nofollow">supposed example</a> in the Münzkabinett der Universität Göttingen cited at OCRE is actually an as, not a sestertius, weighing only 8.222 g.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
