Marsyas Mike Posted March 26, 2023 · Member Share Posted March 26, 2023 Thanks for sharing that video and those coins @Roman Collector Somewhat keeping on topic, I just had to take this opportunity to share my latest Faustina I - a veiled as that is, I am pretty sure, a die-match to one in the @Roman Collector collection (obverse only). I found a couple of others that seem to match this obverse die as well. Faustina I Æ As (c. 140-141 A.D.) Rome Mint DIVA AVGVSTA FAVSTINA, draped and veiled bust right / A[E]T[ERN]ITAS, S-C, Providentia standing left, holding globe on extended right hand and vertical sceptre in left. RIC III Ant. Pius 1163ab (as); BMCRE 1459; Cohen RSC --. (9.18 grams / 25 x 24 mm) eBay Mar. 2023 Obverse Die-Match Characterstics: Small top-knot; elaborate drapery; GVS-TA FAV...break. Die-Match Obverse: Roman Collector collection (see various CT & NF posts) https://www.cointalk.com/threads/trying-to-identify-faustina-i-as.369645/ Gorny & Mosch Giessener Stuttgarter Münzauktionen, Auktion 1; Lot 452; 22.11.2010 https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=893037 Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 108; Lot 157; 16.02.2005 (ex- Rudolf Berk) https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=210189 Note: "These coins were among the first issued in honor of the Diva Faustina I following her death in late Oct./early Nov. of AD 140. They bear (a) veil worn by the deceased empress,emphasizing her deified status. The coins of this first issue emphasize her consecration with numerous CONSECRATIO reverse types, her Piety...and two AETERNITAS types, emphasizing the deified empress's place among the stars."
