[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 5145394, member: 75937"]Great additions to your collection, [USER=38412]@7Calbrey[/USER]! Fun stuff! I like them all, particularly the Samaritan of Volusian one depicting Dionysus riding on a panther! But the Faustina II sestertius is my favorite because it is the variety where Concordia leans on a column, which is only mentioned by Strack, citing examples in Munich, Naples, Milan and St. Petersburg. [ATTACH=full]1207774[/ATTACH] Faustina II, AD 147-175. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 29.89 g, 31.0 mm, 6 h. Rome, AD 154-157. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: AVGVSTI PII FIL S C, Concordia standing left and leaning on column, holding patera and cornucopia. Refs: Strack 1328 (Mü San Mi Le); RIC --; BMCRE4 --; Cohen --; RCV --. Compare this to the usual variety, without the column; Strack cites examples in Berlin, Paris, and Vienna: [ATTACH=full]1207773[/ATTACH] Faustina II, AD 147-175. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 22.20 g, 33.2 mm, 11 h. Rome, AD 154-157. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, right. Rev: AVGVSTI PII FIL S C, Concordia standing left, holding patera and cornucopia. Refs: RIC 1368; BMCRE4 2198-99; Cohen 22; Strack 1328 (B P W); RCV 4710.[/QUOTE]
