<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 2895204, member: 85693&quot;]I apologize for the lousy condition of this Faustina II denarius (I&#039;m sure you all have better ones) - it got chopmarked at some point.&nbsp; But ugly as it is I am still trying to attribute it, and I am puzzled. </p><p><br /></p><p>My problem has to do with the difference between RIC 695 and 696.&nbsp; My problem has to do with terminology.&nbsp; One is &quot;diademed&quot; the other has &quot;pearls.&quot;&nbsp; The problem seems to be that the diadem is made out of pearls.&nbsp; Which is confusing.&nbsp; Online stuff is confused as well - listing and descriptions are all over the place - dirtyoldbooks, beastcoins, vcoins, Wildwinds, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that the true difference has to do with a single strand of pearls and a double strand of pearls.&nbsp; A diadem can be either one of these, I&#039;d guess.&nbsp; Or is there a difference?&nbsp; Or am I over-complicating things (again)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine has a single strand.&nbsp; Any thoughts?&nbsp; Other examples? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]696305[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]696306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
