<p>[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 7683437, member: 89514"]I like the two inner columns of the temple, obviously indicating the two back columns of a round temple. See Dressel, Berlin Medallions, illustrating a bronze medallion and a sestertius in the Berlin collection that also show the two inner columns. Apparently they were usually omitted on the antoniniani, though RIC 175 cites an antoninianus of Volusian showing all four columns that Mattingly noticed in the Dorchester hoard. There are half a dozen such specimens in CoinArchives Pro, however, so less rare than I was thinking, and RIC's R2 rating must also be incorrect! I see that CGB overlooked the two extra columns in their description of Panzerman's excellent specimen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
