<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 3561581, member: 85693&quot;]Thank you for the additional information on these, RC - my Latin is pretty shaky, so I thought obsequious being spelt the way it is, the Latin would be &quot;OBSEQVENS&quot; - I guess minding your B&#039;s and P&#039;s has been a problem down through the ages.&nbsp; I wish my coin had the other side of the flan off-center so I could know for sure.&nbsp; Another casualty of the Ravages of Time! </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the FORVM quote I used comes from Stevenson&#039;s book - my local library has it on the shelf too (a reprint, alas).&nbsp; When I was originally researching this, I was surprised how little material I could find on this rather peculiar reverse type for Fortuna - when Stevenson is your best source you can figure the Internet is not the best place to find things all the time.&nbsp; I wonder if an old issue of The Celator has anything about it?&nbsp; Doug&#039;s page was the most solid modern thing I could find - and as he says, that was 22 years ago (and in the form of a query)![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
