[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4604779, member: 85693"]Hmm. I am confused, but I haven't read the whole book/article. And I think the footnotes are confusing me. But to just go off Dinsdale's headings, which assign dates based on inscriptions/reverse types, everything seems to be covered. Wouldn't yours fall under this heading: "[B]5th Phase – Anniversary of Faustina’s Deification Commenced: 150 Obverse: DIVA FAVSTINA (* with DIVA AVG FAVSTINA, or † with DIVAE FAVSTINAE)"[/B] [B]CONSECRATIO * Ceres raising hand & holding torch Ar[/B] No other CONSECRATIO types in other "phases" are matched with a Ceres "torch/raising hand." The obverse inscription (AVG or no AVG) does not matter one way or another as far as assigning "phases." Here is RIC 382b, like yours but not nearly as pretty: [ATTACH=full]1140543[/ATTACH] [B] Faustina I Denarius 5th Phase: Anniversary of [B]Faustina’s Deification[/B] (c. 150-160 A.D.) Rome Mint[/B] DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust right / CONSECRATIO Ceres standing left, holding torch and raising right hand. RIC 382b; RSC 165a. (2.60 grams / 17 mm) But like I say, I am easily confused...RC, the Bat Signal has been lit![/QUOTE]
