[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7690842, member: 85693"]Nice one, RC. But nothing is too mundane for Faustina Friday! :nailbiting: No doubt I am wrong, but I have mine attributed to the "1st Phase" deification timeframe, 140-143? Not sure why I went with this, but I checked the reference and there is a notation on Phase II stating: "The portrait-type of Faustina wearing the stephane commences with this group." No stephane, so I went with 1st Phase: Here is mine, I think.
