<p>[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 7873031, member: 75937"]It's a mystery. Nothing beyond the Pleides and Ursa Major theories. Mattingly's comments are limited to "Crescent and stars are the symbol of Eternity" (BMCRE4, p. lxxxiii). MIR merely notes the existence of the reverse type without postulating about its iconography. Neither work by Beckmann discusses the issue because his study of Faustina I was limited to aurei and sestertii and his study of Faustina II was limited to aurei. This reverse type does not appear on these denominations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
