<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 7600191, member: 44316&quot;]Here is my page on AE coins of Jovian:</p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html</a></p><p>I don&#039;t claim to know about the fine distinction we are trying to make, but I can see some difference in diadems.</p><p>The third one down on that page (first coin below) has a diadem that is &quot;laurel and rosette.&quot; Here it is:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308700[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The first two lack the &quot;rosette&quot; part.</p><p>Here they are:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308701[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308702[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Jovian minted AE with only four reverse legends.

The Antioch coin two posts above has obvious rosettes but only dots between them, not extended laurel leaves. Maybe that is what is meant by &quot;rosette&quot; alone.&nbsp; However, my top coin from Thessalonica does not have full leaves either, but dashes a bit longer than dots. Is there a continuum here being artificially divided into three? I see two&nbsp; [Edit: That is, rosette or not, separate from the pearl-diadem type, #3 in this post].[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
