[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 4729847, member: 31620"]This reverse type was being produced with the legends SOLI INVICTO and ORIENS AVG at the same time on alternate strikes..... The proof of this comes from examples like the following:- [B]Aurelian Ant.[/B] Obv:– IMP C AVRELIANVS AVG, Radiated, cuirassed bust right Rev:– SOLI INS AVG, Sol standing left raising right hand, holding globe in left hand standing on captive in front, another captive behind Minted at Ticinum Reference:– RIC - This coin is relatively interesting in that it illustrates the use of two different reverse dies being struck with the same obverse die. The coin combines a SOLI INVICTO and and ORIENS AVG, both with star in left field and PXXT in exe from the mint at Ticinum. Shadow strikes can be seen of the other captives and on the head of Sol from the other strike [IMG]https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_125u_img.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
