<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 2673296, member: 80783&quot;]That is quite interesting! According to RIC, the Rome mint at this time was organized into six officinae, each striking a different type over a certain period. Also RIC considers LIBERALITAS AVGVSTORVM to be among the earliest issues of the mint and CONCORDIA AVGG among the latest.</p><p>Your research however seems to prove RIC wrong! Obviously the same high style obverse die was used first in combination with a CONCORDIA AVGG reverse die (obverse legend still intact), then with PAX PUBLICA (&quot;IMP&quot; starts do disintegrate), and afterwards with one LIBERALITAS AVGVSTORVM die (both obverse and reserve worn down in-between the Roma auction specimen and my coin). </p><p>This seems to to indicate that 1) one officinal struck all of Pupienus´ Aes coinage and switched reverse dies, and 2) that the order of reverse types must be reconsidered.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
