<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 8141889, member: 75937&quot;]Absolutely a die match and it&#039;s bare-headed, not laureate. It was part of the third emission of AD 162 (MIR, p. 98).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The attribution comes down to which bust type it is. Szaivert and BMCRE note four types of bare-headed bust for this one:</p><p><br /></p><p>Bare r., draped far shoulder</p><p>Bare r., aegis on left shoulder</p><p>Bare r., draped</p><p>Bare r., cuirassed</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours is clearly not the type with drapery only on the far left shoulder.</p><p>The aegis type is represented by <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1937-0607-106" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1937-0607-106" rel="nofollow">BMCRE 1007</a>, and that&#039;s not your coin.</p><p>The cuirassed type is represented by <a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1913-0604-40" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/C_1913-0604-40" rel="nofollow">BMCRE 1008</a>, and it doesn&#039;t match yours well, either.</p><p>There&#039;s a footnote to BMCRE 1007 that mentions these different bust types, too, and I think yours is the <i>draped</i> type. I&#039;d call it: RIC —; BMCRE 1007n; Cohen —; MIR 30-6/[13].[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
