Your example of the Faustina II Consecratio type and [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&#039;s imitative of Pescennius Niger show that the meaning of the ‘crescent and star(s)’ reverse-type, or at least the intention in issuing it, could have changed from reign to reign, or within the reign of a single ruler. As you say, it is important to look at the reverse image in context of the reverse legend.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks. Reading now.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Indeed. You have some great examples.
