It should be possible to identify which dies were used to strike [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] &#039;s coin. <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/265871515/The-coinage-of-Didius-Julianus-and-his-family-A-M-Woodward" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.scribd.com/document/265871515/The-coinage-of-Didius-Julianus-and-his-family-A-M-Woodward" rel="nofollow">Woodward&#039;s article</a>* is still considered the definitive work on this, though it&#039;s unfortunate that not all dies described are illustrated in the plates and there are a few that he was unaware of when he wrote the article.
