<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Severus Alexander, post: 7600935, member: 84744&quot;]Interesting question.&nbsp; I tend to think there are just two types of diadems here: pearl and rosette.&nbsp; The difference RIC seems to be talking about just seems to amount to whether the blobs between the rosettes are teardrop shaped (&quot;leaves&quot;) or just round.&nbsp; I doubt that&#039;s a real difference, it seems to be a continuum.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one exception might be Warren&#039;s Constantinople coin which isn&#039;t pearl but lacks rosettes too.&nbsp; As far as I can tell this style seems to be very rare!&nbsp; Maybe it&#039;s just one or two engravers&#039; idea of &quot;pearl.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m glad my Antioch is clear: pearl!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1308822[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
