<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7316160, member: 110350"]Thanks for the comprehensive answer to my questions! Regarding the elusive denarius RIC 710, one of the references is to a plate number. Have you checked that plate to see if the illustration really has stars? In any event, I didn't realize that stars on the twin boys -- so obviously a reference to the Dioscuri once it was pointed out to me! -- were so often found on other Faustina II types. So it still surprises me that there appears to be no reference at all to examples of the RIC 1673 sestertius type with the stars before the Numismatik Naumann example sold in 2019 and my example sold by CNG in September 2020. One would think that an example would have turned up years ago. Do you know if anyone's working on a revision to RIC Vol. III? It's been 90 years, after all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
