[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 4628681, member: 85693"]Thank you all for your help with this - a most interesting discussion. Doug brings up an interesting point. The RIC 292 (head) and 293 (draped & cuirassed) distinction seems to be in OCRE / RIC, but not in real life? However, when I was looking through acsearch auctions, however, RIC 292 was draped only, while RIC 293 was draped & cuirassed. No heads only. RIC 292 (draped): 2 examples, neither one just "heads": [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=severus+alexander+denarius+pietas+292&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&thesaurus=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company=[/URL] RIC 293 (draped & cuirassed): 8 examples [URL]https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=severus+alexander+denarius+pietas+293&category=1-2&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1&images=1&thesaurus=1&order=0¤cy=usd&company=[/URL] Whenever confronted with the "cuirassed" feature, I find myself squinting at drapery trying to find bits of armor on the shoulder. I never feel I know what it is I am doing - my OP is, I think, draped only. But some of the acsearch examples were ambiguous to me. Again, I do appreciate everyone's help. (And glad you liked the Eliot, ominous1 - I keep waiting for those Mermaids to sing to me!)[/QUOTE]
