<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ultprice, post: 7599254, member: 115017&quot;]Hello everyone. Long time watcher, first time poster. I recently acquired a double maiorina of Jovian from Thessalonica, and I&#039;m having trouble determining the bust type. Conceptually I understand the difference between a rosette diadem (RIC 237) and a laurel and rosette diadem (RIC 238), but I can&#039;t seem to grasp the distinction in coinage. I&#039;ve looked at countless examples of both, if the various auction houses got it right, and can&#039;t seem to find any differences. My coin, (see below) is worn and hard to photograph, and my set up is quite amateur, but I think the diadem should be clear enough. I&#039;m also including a relevant excerpt of RIC for your convenience. I&#039;d love some insight on this, but feel free to share your own Jovian double maiorinae and/or coins with ambiguous headgear as well. Thank you![ATTACH=full]1308576[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1308577[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1308578[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
