<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 8058667, member: 120820&quot;]Thanks! I was wondering what your references were to ii (a) and ii (b), then realized these are from the descriptions in the appendix:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1396672[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that RIC&#039;s description and illustration of RIC 56 don&#039;t match! Even if we assume that the plate coin is a type ii (a) diadem (with an &quot;end-rosette&quot;), which it doesn&#039;t really look like, the appendix makes it clear this would still be attributed as a plain diadem (E1 bust), not the rosette diadem (E2 bust) that RIC 56 is supposed to have!</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also diadem varieties outside of the ones listed in the appendix, such as these that have an &quot;end rosette&quot; (with central dot), or similar (with central &quot;X&quot;), but are type i &quot;ladder-shaped&quot; diadems rather than type ii. At least the appendix seems to make it clear these should also be considered as plain, not rosette, diadems.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1396673[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1396674[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
