[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3040868, member: 57495"]That’s an interesting Fortuna type and new to me. Thanks for the writeup! Here’s a FORTVNAE MANENTI ('Abiding Fortune'), a reverse type unique to Commodus. Instead of her usual rudder, she can be seen here holding a bridled horse... I don’t recall reading a solid theory explaining the iconography. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2016-1-26_17-14-7-png.472345/[/IMG] [B]COMMODUS[/B] AR Denarius 2.33g, 18.7mm Rome mint, AD 186-189 RIC 191A (scarce); Sear 5642 O: M COMM ANT P FEL AVG BRIT, laureate head right. R: FORTVNAE MANENTI, Fortuna seated left, holding horse by bridle in right hand and corncucopiae in left; C V P P in exergue.[/QUOTE]
