I assume that you're not counting the Romano-Egyptian deities that appeared on the reverses (and, for Sol and Serapis, on some of the obverses) of the many different small brass "Festival of Isis" coins almost entirely omitted from RIC*, but described in the 1937 Alfoldi article and, more fully, at <a href="https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/intro1.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/intro1.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/intro1.htm</a> -- especially the ones with Imperial obverses, issued all the way up to the reign of Valentinian II (see <a href="https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/anv/index2e.htm)?" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/anv/index2e.htm)?" rel="nofollow">https://www.tesorillo.com/isis/anv/index2e.htm)?</a> Would your reason for not counting them be that it seems most likely that they were not actual coins (or otherwise used as currency), but were more in the nature of amulets or souvenirs, even though they were all apparently minted in Rome by official authorities?</p><p><br /></p><p>* The one exception is that RIC VIII (1981) includes a number of them issued from the reigns of Constantius II through Jovian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
