<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 1318109, member: 26430&quot;]Faustina Jr seems mostly likely. But there are many other possibilities (just not as common as the Faustina issues). I&#039;m not a great expert, but I do happen to like the Latin Ladies and keep hold of most of the Faustina&#039;s and Julia _____&#039;s (Domna, Mamaea, Maesa) I come across. From the bust, I suppose it might be Faustina I or any number of other females (e.g., several of the Julia ____ issues would fit that profile). By weight, I think it could conceivably be an As, Dupondius, or other provincial denomination, based on the ranges for published examples (correct me if I&#039;m wrong). I think you&#039;d really need to spend some time comparing busts of different Roman imperial females to make a confident ID... The image is good, but you might be able to make out more from it in hand than we can looking at it (e.g., being able to read a letter or two on the obv. could go a long way). Sometimes you just can&#039;t settle on a certain ID, especially with the legends worn off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
