<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 5234540, member: 82549&quot;]I recently received this coin of Julia Augusta from CNG:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://cngcoins.com/Photos.AM/4-19EVHZ/4-19GQNR.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It was listed as:</p><p><font size="4"><b>Julia Augusta (Livia). Augusta, AD 14-29. Æ Dupondius (27mm, 10.25 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck under Tiberius, AD 22-23.</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone explain why Livia is in parenthesis? Is there uncertainty whether is it Julia, Tiberius&#039; wife, or Livia, his mother? Or was Julia also known as Livia?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I noticed an error in RIC. The reverse inscription is TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVG P M TR POT XXIIII. The coin is listed as RIC I (Tiberius) 47 with the reverse inscription: TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVG TR POT XXIIII, omitting the P M. When I first received this coin, I was tempted to return it, assuming that it was a forgery because I couldn&#039;t find the reverse inscription anywhere. After checking Wildwinds and seeing photos of several different examples, all of which included M P, I realized the error and decided that my coin was legit after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
