<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2511758, member: 75937&quot;]I found this interesting. I have two middle bronzes of Faustina Junior with the FECVND AVGVSTAE reverse, one (a Dupondius, I believe, on the basis of weight) with the usual Fecunditas standing left type, and another (an As, I believe, on the basis of weight) with the reverse type a mirror image of the dupondius, where the goddess is standing right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody else have examples of coins with mirror-image variants of the reverse type?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534449[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Faustina Junior</p><p>Roman oricalchum Dupondius</p><p>Rome, AD 147-175</p><p>12.45 gm, 27 mm</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, r.</p><p>Rev: FECVND AVGVSTAE SC, (Faustina as) Fecunditas standing l., between two children (thought to represent Faustina III and Lucilla), holding two infants in her arms (thought to represent Commodus and Antoninus).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]534450[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>As above, but</p><p><br /></p><p>Roman AE As</p><p>8.46 gm, 25 mm</p><p>Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, bare-headed and draped bust, r.</p><p>Rev: FECVND AVGVSTAE SC, (Faustina as) Fecunditas standing r., between two children, holding two infants in her arms.</p><p><br /></p><p>RIC-1636; Sear-5294; BMC-977</p><p><br /></p><p>The BMC listing for 977 notes, &quot;variant of rev., Fecunditas standing r., Vatican Coll-&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>My hand-written notes accompanying the variant coin state &quot;Strack 1337, Fecunditas standing R sestertius in Paris, middle bronzes in Vatican, Munich, Stuttgart, Bologna, Gotha + Basel l, 1934, 1385&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I actually have no idea where I got the information in my hand-written note; if any of you know what reference I&#039;m quoting or what the &quot;l, 1934, 1385&quot; is referring to, I&#039;d be grateful for the info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
