[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3224560, member: 19463"]A question: Within the MA legionary series are there sub types that make you want to have two from the same legion? For example, in my legionary area - Septimius Severus, there are some legions that have standards bearing or lacking small capricorns on the standards. Legion XIIII with capricorns [ATTACH=full]840231[/ATTACH] Legion XIIII without capricorns [ATTACH=full]840233[/ATTACH] The above two are Rome mint but the one below is Syrian also for Legion XIIII. [ATTACH=full]840234[/ATTACH] There are even a few coins that have such widely different letter spacings that a specialist might feel the need for examples of both. LEG XXII widely and evenly spread: [ATTACH=full]840236[/ATTACH] LEG XXII not started until the top and LEG XX packed tightly: [ATTACH=full]840239[/ATTACH] Do collectors of MA legionaries chase such variations or is it pretty much a matter of the numerals and the few specialties names like Speculatorum?[/QUOTE]
