<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 4951975, member: 89514&quot;]An interesting coin, particularly as there seem to be no corresponding sestertii, aurei, or denarii. Nor is SALVTI AVGVSTAE standing a type of Lucilla, which might just have been used by mistake for Faustina.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not convinced that Faustina&#039;s SALVTI AVGVSTAE standing type is the equivalent of Marcus and Verus&#039; SALVTI AVGVSTOR type or 162-4 however, firstly because of a typological difference, Salus&#039; left arm bent upwards at the elbow for Faustina but extended downwards for Marcus and Verus, secondly because of the different denominations and volumes of production, Faustina having only rare middle bronzes, but Marcus and Verus comparatively common aurei, sestertii, and middle bronzes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding Faustina&#039;s children: would you be able to send me scans of Barbara Levick&#039;s relevant three pages? I would be interested to read her suggestions, and it would also help me decide whether or not to purchase her Faustina and Julia Domna books.
