<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1210795, member: 31620&quot;]There is quite a bit of variation in the style of an individual bust type at this time within the production of a single mint even over a very short period of time. A lot of it is to do with the quality of the engraver.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is quire hard to compare the styles of the following two coins both from Siscia but only a year or so apart. One has a quite long, thin neck and a gaunt face, the other being much more thick necked. The thick necked coin is based on the portraits of Florian and comes before approved portraits of Probus had been distributed.</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC 666 Bust type C from A.D 277 (Pink)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]128077.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC 716 Bust Type C from early A.D. 276 (Pink)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]128078.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Martin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
