<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 22772801, member: 24754&quot;]Livia and Livilla are both on my &quot;Bust coins that I&#039;d like to get&quot; list. So far as I&#039;ve been able to tell, Livia appears on some provincial coinage. However, Livilla only appears on these dupondii.</p><p><br /></p><p>There seems to have been 2 variations issued under Tiberius for Drusus as Caesar, one variation is a woman &quot;as Justitia&quot; and another &quot;as Pietas&quot;. A restoration issue was then released under Titus, which seem to be attempts at reproducing the coin designs with the reverse legends being the only big difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1545183[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m confused by the fact that some of these coins are claimed to be &quot;Livia as&quot; and some are claimed to be &quot;Livilla as&quot;, but I can&#039;t find any indicator on the coins by which these assumptions are being made. So:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Am I missing something that indicates the difference?</p><p><br /></p><p>- Did the Titus issues wrongly assume that both were Livia, even though the original issues depicted different women?</p><p><br /></p><p>- Or is there no way to tell who it is supposed to be, and we think that all of them could be either woman?</p><p><br /></p><p>I ask because, while searching through auction listings, it seems as though the coins consistently bring more money when claimed to be Livilla. This leads me to believe that there is a way to tell, however, I suppose that it could also be a marketing ploy to dupe ignorant buyers (Like me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Not my coins by the way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
