<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Julius Germanicus, post: 3217371, member: 80783&quot;]You did an outstanding analysis, TIF <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>It supports Jocelyn Toynbees thesis that most Medallion types come from just a single die or pair of dies. In this case, the combination of a single obverse die with different reverse dies could show that a number of reverse dies for the popular MONETA AVGG reverse were made at the Rome mint to be combined with unique obverse dies for Carus, Carinus and Numerianus and their various bust types. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That is great! If you want to keep practicing, here are specimens of the other variety of Numerianus´ Medallions from the Rome mint, struck at the same time, but featuring the obverse legend IMP C NVMERIANVS PF AVG with the bust seen from the front (Cohen Nr.28, Gnecchi Nr.5, Pink 24):</p><p><br /></p><p>Nr.1 - Drawing from Cohen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]836807[/ATTACH] </p><p>Nr.2 - Illustration in Gnecchi</p><p>[ATTACH=full]836806[/ATTACH] </p><p>Nr.3 - from CNG website </p><p>[ATTACH=full]836832[/ATTACH] </p><p>Looks like they all come from one obverse die also, but what about the reverses?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
