[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 5142528, member: 75937"]Let's catalog this thing, shall we? Here's the relevant listing of inscriptions and bust types in RIC vi, p. 206. [ATTACH=full]1206942[/ATTACH] This is inscription 3b, bust type D. Let's go to the listings. [ATTACH=full]1206943[/ATTACH] It can't be any of these two reasons: Type 3b (D) doesn't appear; Genius on your coin is not "naked but for chlamys over l. shoulder." Let's keep going. [ATTACH=full]1206944[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1206945[/ATTACH] Does the reverse description match? It sure does: "... head towered, loins draped ..." That's it! Scanning for obverse type 3b (D), we get 650A and [URL='http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.6.tri.664a']664a[/URL]. So I'm as puzzled as you. Two catalog listings for the same coin????[/QUOTE]
