[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 7801218, member: 31620"]I know that some people don't like reviving an old thread but I thought it worthwhile to put a new coin in context. In the original post I shared a PIAETAS with the short IMP PROBVS AVG legend with C in the right field. I have now obtained another short legend variety but now with a retrograde C in the right field. This collection means that I collect based on the minute details such as whether the officina mark is retrograde or not..... Obv:–IMP PROBVS AVG, Radiate, cuirassed bust right Rev:– PIAETAS AVG, Pietas standing left by altar, holding patera and box of perfumes Minted in Lugdunum (_ | retrograde C) Emission 9. Officina 2. January – August 282 A.D. Reference(s) – Cohen 436. Bastien 418 (1 example cited).
