[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 8183558, member: 89514"]Florian at Lugdunum carries on the TEMPORVM FELICITAS type of Tacitus, but with two changes: Felicitas stands right rather than left, and she holds her cornucopia with its lower tip pointed away from rather than towards her body. Pointing towards her body is the standard way to hold a cornucopia. This rotation of the cornucopia in Florian's type seems to go unnoticed in the standard catalogues, Cohen, RIC, Bastien, Estiot's Paris catalogue, and the new RIC revised online. There is a rare Felicitas antoninianus of Florian that uses Tacitus' type with cornucopia tip pointing inwards (RIC online temp. 4130), but according to Bastien 133 this is just due to Florian's re-use of an old reverse die of Tacitus.[/QUOTE]
