<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor_Clark, post: 2880152, member: 10613&quot;]regarding the ID of the originally posted coin, it is actually RIC VII Rome 232. The difference between 232 and 237 is the wreath. I think that Bruun may have over-complicated this a little and I usually ID these coins as Rome 232/237. </p><p><br /></p><p>He was trying to separate issues struck before and after the <i>dies imperii </i>of the Caesars- VOT V first and then VOT X after. He thought that plain wreaths were used while the Caesars had VOT V types and decorated wreaths when VOT X was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the difference in the wreaths is undecorated versus decorated. All wreaths have some sort of a badge at the top, but decorated have additional decorations at 3 and 9 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p>below is an illustration from <b>Constantinian Mint Policy illustrating </b>decorated wreath types (RIC 237)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]690127[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
