<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3986730, member: 31620&quot;]Not a follow on in the spirit of the thread as I don&#039;t have any Justitia types with scales unless we are willing to accept Dikaiosyne, which I don&#039;t think is in the spirit of the request.</p><p><br /></p><p>Doug had posted an interesting Alexandrian piece and this is a type that I have acquired several of over the years (I think that my last count was 6) all bought for a variety of reasons but none of them has as complete a set of legends on both sides as Doug&#039;s example. I think that this alone makes this example remarkable. None of my coins come from either of these dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is probably also worthy to note that the same reverse type was produced in Alexandria for Julia Domna.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reference:– BMCRE Page 86.
