Roman Collector Posted April 16 · Patron Share Posted April 16 Link: Sabina CONCORDIA AVG as an undertype. Faustina Sr, AD 138-141 Roman AR denarius; 3.83 g, 18.2 mm Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA, draped bust, right Rev: AETERNITAS, Fortuna standing left, holding globe and rudder Refs: RIC 348; BMCRE 360; Cohen 6; RCV 4577. I believe this coin was struck over a CONCORDIA AVG/Concordia seated denarius of Sabina. If I rotate the reverse 90 degrees counterclockwise, you can see a throne and what is likely a cornucopiae beneath it. Coming down from Fortuna's face is a roughly spiral-shaped vertical object I think is a goddess's shin: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
