<p>[QUOTE="Suarez, post: 4549462, member: 99239"]You got this backwards actually. Gnecchi published a medallion of Carus and Urbica all the way back in 1911 but was for some reason missed by RIC's authors. They did, however, publish a related Carinus-Urbica medallion (oddly citing Gnecchi). Gnecchi, being more obscure and less used as a first-hand reference, simply fell off the radar.
