<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3337763, member: 89970&quot;][USER=76111]@Carthago[/USER] the examples you cite in your post are great examples.&nbsp; The first one is the notoriously difficult to attribute <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H53-2-X-19" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#H53-2-X-19" rel="nofollow">53/2 group 8</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp; Crawford&#039;s plate X.19 shows this variety with an extended helmet visor, but this visor feature is actually found in few examples of this variety.&nbsp; The most consistent recognizable characteristic (other than subjective style) is the font!&nbsp;&nbsp; These always have a very tall X and a reverse &quot;ROMA&quot; both executed with very fine lines.&nbsp; No die links have been found between this and group 9 which is nearly identical suggesting a separate mint workshop.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]884084[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Your <a href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#198-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://stevebrinkman.ancients.info/anonymous/index.html#198-1" rel="nofollow">Cr. 198</a> is also just about perfect.&nbsp; These need to be well centered because the upper point on the cape is the most defining characteristic.&nbsp; Although they are quite common, I&#039;ve yet to find one this nice for my own collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
