<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2370604, member: 42773&quot;]I always find it interesting to compare engraving styles, particularly on coins of exactly the same issue, as the two denarii of Providentia. The Sol denarius is a later issue, but the bust is more closely related to the second of the Providentia coins, especially in the angle between the forehead and nose. The first coin looks like a completely different person. The bronze of Antioch has a very boyish portrait (thrown in for color contrast)...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]484643[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also find it interesting that of the Providentia denarii of the same type, one has a broken obverse legend, the other continuous. So the pattern of consistently giving broken legends to Augusti and continuous to Caesars had not yet been established.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
