Message:: [QUOTE="Justin Lee, post: 4692218, member: 87404"]Tonight I'm doing some online searching for info about the Roman Victoriatus. I've got these two delivered yesterday. The 2 I have are in two visual styles, and in looking at acsearch at the many others (Crawford 53/1) there seems to be a lot that fall into one style or the other as if there were 2 celators making the dies. The are a few other styles (or along the spectrum between these 2), but the majority appear (at least to me) can be divided into these 2 styles. And it involves both obverse style of Jupiter and the style of Victory on the reverse. I'm wondering if my observations are somewhat true and founded? Or am I just sniffing glue? Anyone know? This first one is more of a finer, more detailed, and better stylistically:<img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/incollage_20200731_183637485.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Anonymous, Roman RepublicAR Victoriatus, Rome mintStruck After 211 AD (211-208)Obverse: Laureate head of Jupiter right.Reverse: Victory standing right, crowning trophy; ROMA in exergue.References: Crawford 53/1, Sydenham 83Size: 16mm, 2.81g This second one is a little more simplified and almost cartoonish in nature:<img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2020/07/incollage_20200731_183858015.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> Anonymous, Roman RepublicAR Victoriatus, Rome mintStruck After 211 AD (211-208)Obverse: Laureate head of Jupiter right.Reverse: Victory standing right, crowning trophy; ROMA in exergue.References: Crawford 53/1, Sydenham 83Size: 15mm, 2.69g[/QUOTE]
