Roman Collector Posted May 5, 2023 · Patron Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Friday felicitations, fellow Faustina fanatics! I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead. Three weeks ago, we revisited the collection of Johann Sulzer and illustrated the first of the sestertii in his Faustina the Younger section. His collection of sestertii was very extensive, and we will be occupied with them for a few more weeks. I hope you like sestertii, because I continue this week by illustrating the sestertii listed on pages 182-183 of the catalog to his collection. This installment finishes up with the lifetime sestertii of Faustina the Younger and lists the first of the posthumous coins issued in her honor. I remind the reader that Sulzer separated the coins by denomination, arranging them alphabetically by reverse legend, and then by lifetime versus posthumous issues. However, he did not separate them by obverse legend nor even distinguish those issued under Antoninus Pius from those under Marcus Aurelius. Rather, all the coins are listed together in one section titled "Faustina, wife of M. Aurelius, called 'Junior'." As a result, you'll see a variety of obverse legends and hairstyles in this week's installment. All coins illustrated here are from my own collection. Here are the pages of Sulzer's collection under discussion this week.Sulzer #1526: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 24.05 g, 31.7 mm, 6 h. Rome, mid 152-Autumn 154 CE. Obv: FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann type 2 hairstyle). Rev: VENVS S C, Venus standing left, holding apple and scepter. Refs: RIC 1387(3); BMCRE 2185-86; Cohen 252; RCV 4719; Strack 1322. Note: See here for a discussion of this reverse type and its various varieties. Sulzer #1527: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 25.09 g, 29.4 mm, 12 h. Rome, early 148-March 149 CE. Obv: FAVSTINAE AVG PII AVG FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 1 hairstyle). Rev: VENVS S C, Venus standing left, holding apple and rudder, around which a dolphin is entwined. Refs: RIC 1388c; BMCRE 2148-50; Cohen 268 var.; Strack 1305; RCV 4720. Note: See here for a discussion of this reverse type. Sulzer #1528: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 27.25 g, 30.7 mm, 6 h. Rome, c. 166. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, Bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 7 hairstyle). Rev: VENVS VICTRIX S C, Venus standing facing, head left, holding Victory in extended right hand and resting left hand on shield set on helmet. Refs: RIC 1688; BMCRE 960-65; Cohen 283; RCV 5288; MIR 40-6/10b. Notes: Issued to commemorate her husband’s victory over the Parthians, which he shared with Lucius Verus, for which the co-emperors celebrated a triumph in October 166. Sulzer #1529: This coin does not exist as described in Sulzer's catalog. Here’s the Latin listing.This is translated as: FAVSTINA AVG ANTONINI AVG PII FIL. Head of Faustina Junior. S. C. Venus standing, right hand extended holding apple, left hand a vertical scepter. Without inscription. The obverse legend FAVSTINA AVG ANTONINI AVG PII FIL was in use for less than one year, and was paired with few reverse types. This obverse legend appears on only one sestertius with a Venus reverse type, but its reverse inscription reads VENVS S C and is not anepigraphic. However, it is not hard to imagine that Sulzer's specimen was of low grade, with a reverse legend so worn as to be invisible. The specimen in my collection of the type, for example, has a barely legible reverse inscription. Sulzer's coin was undoubtedly this one, illustrated below. Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 24.00 g, 32.2 mm, 5 h. Rome, end of summer 151- c. June 152 CE. Obv: FAVSTINA AVG ANTONINI AVG PII FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann type 3 hairstyle). Rev: VENVS S C, Venus standing left, holding apple and scepter. Refs: RIC 1387(6); BMCRE 2168; Cohen 250; RCV –; Strack 1311. Notes: Also used with the Beckmann Type 2 hairstyle. See here for a discussion of this reverse type and its various varieties. Sulzer #1530: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 24.17 g, 31.0 mm, 5 h. Rome, c. 153-154 CE. Obv: FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 2b hairstyle). Rev: S C, Diana, draped, standing front, head left, holding out arrow in right hand and resting left on bow, set on ground. Refs: RIC 1383(3); BMCRE 2180-81; Cohen 206; Strack 1325; RCV 4717. Notes: Also used with the Beckmann Type 5 hairstyle. Variety known with a left-facing bust. See here for a discussion of this reverse type and its various varieties. Sulzer #1531-32: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 25.20 g, 31.1 mm, 6 h. Rome, January-August 156 CE. Obv: FAVSTINA AVGVSTA AVG PII F, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 5 hairstyle). Rev: S C, Diana, draped, standing front, head left, holding out arrow in right hand and resting left on bow, set on ground. Refs: RIC 1383(2); BMCRE 2194; Cohen 210 (erroneous obverse inscription); Strack 1326. Notes: Obverse die match to the British Museum specimen. See here for a discussion of this reverse type and its various varieties. The remainder of the sestertii in the collection are posthumous issues. Sulzer #1533-34: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum Sestertius, 19.75 g, 30.0 mm, 1 h. Rome, 4th posthumous issue, 176 CE or later. Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA PIA, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 10 hairstyle). Rev: CONSECRATIO S C, altar-enclosure, with door in front and antefixae on corners above. Refs: RIC 1706; BMCRE 1579-81; Cohen 76; RCV 5230; MIR 60-6/10. Notes: Sulzer, along with many later numismatists, incorrectly describes the object on the reverse as an "altar," but it is more accurately described as an altar enclosure. See here for a discussion of this reverse type. Sulzer #1535: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum sestertius, 19.27 g, 28.7 mm, 6 h. Rome, 4th posthumous issue, 176 CE or later. Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA PIA, bust of Faustina II, draped, right (Beckmann Type 10 hairstyle). Rev: CONSECRATIO, peacock walking left with tail spread. Refs: RIC 1703; BMCRE 1573-76; Cohen 72; RCV 5228; MIR 59-6/10. Sulzer #1536: Faustina II, 147-175 CE. Roman orichalcum Sestertius, 23.66 g, 30.2 mm, 12 h. Rome, 4th posthumous issue, 176 CE or later. Obv: DIVA FAVSTINA PIA, bare-headed and draped bust, right (Beckmann Type 10 hairstyle). Rev: SIDERIBVS RECEPTA, Diva Faustina, as Diana Lucifera, draped, wearing crescent on shoulders behind neck, standing right, holding lighted long torch. Refs: RIC 1715; BMCRE 1584-88; Cohen 215; RCV (4th ed.; not in 5th) 1530; MIR 64-6/10. Note: Also issued with Diana standing left. Sulzer does not specify the direction Diana is facing on the specimen in his collection. Next week, we will finish up the sestertii and begin the middle bronze issues on page 184 of the catalog of Sulzer's collection.Do you have any examples of the sestertii illustrated here? Let's see them! Post comments or anything you feel is relevant!

Marsyas Mike Posted May 6, 2023 · Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 A fine, fine Faustina Friday as usual @Roman Collector. Informative as always, I'm finding some of my Faustina II attributions to be in disarray, so I am going to respond in bits and pieces here. In order of your post, here's three: I'm still a little confused by the OCRE 1387a vs. 1387 (3) that you get directly from RIC. You helped me with one of these a while back. Sulzer 1526 (RIC III Antoninus Pius 1387a / (3)) Faustina II Æ Sestertius (Mid-152 - Autumn 154 A.D.) Rome Mint FAV[ST]INA AVG PII AVG FIL, draped bust right (Beckmann type 2 hairstyle) / [VENVS] S-C, Venus standing left, holding apple and scepter. RIC Antoninus Pius 1387a; BMCRE 2185-86. (26.22 grams / 33 x 32 mm) eBay Jan. 2023 Die-Match Obv. & Rev.: CNG: Electronic Auction 489; Lot 404; 07.04.2021 Die-Match Obverse: Münzkabinett Wien: RÖ 12707 (OCRE Identifier ID64817); Roma Numismatics Limited: E-Sale 54; Lot 764; 28.02.2019; Bertolami Fine Arts: E-Auct 73; Lot 1027; 14.09.2019 Attribution: Per Roman Collector, Coin Talk: Refs: RIC 1387(3); BMCRE 2185-86; Cohen RSC 252; RCV 4719; Strack 1322. Dating: "I therefore date...the bronze coins with the FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL legend to mid AD 152-Autumn 154..." (Roman Collector on Coin Talk) This one is Sulzer 1527 (RIC Antoninus Pius 1388c). I understand the whole "band of pearls" aspect of these is not valid anymore - my attribution is still showing them. Revisions are in order, as with so many of these! Faustina II Æ Sestertius (Early 148 - March 149 A.D.) Rome Mint [FAVSTINAE] AVG PII AVG FIL, draped bust right with band of pearls / [VE]N[VS] S C, Venus standing left holding an apple and rudder about which a dolphin is coiled. RIC Antoninus Pius 1388c. (22.64 grams / 29 x 26 mm) eBay May 2022 Attribution Note: Only type with band of pearls has the FAVSTINAE legend. Full attribution via Coin Talk Roman Collector: RIC 1388c; BMCRE 2148-50; Cohen 268 var.; Strack 1305; RCV 4720. Here is Sulzer 1528 (RIC III Marcus Aurelius 1688) Unfortunately it suffered a harsh, patina-stripping cleaning at some point. Faustina II Æ Sestertius (c. 166 A.D.) Rome Mint FAVSTINA AVGVSTA, draped bare-headed bust rights / VENV[S] VICTRIX, S-C, Venus standing left, holding Victory and resting hand on shield (with she-wolf & twins), set on helmet. RIC III Marcus Aurelius 1688; BMCRE 960-965; Cohen 283. (23.66 grams / 30 x 26 mm) eBay Mar. 2020 (UK) Note: "Issued to commemorate her husband’s victory over the Parthians, which he shared with Lucius Verus, for which the co-emperors celebrated a triumph in October 166." (Roman Collector, NF, CT) Die-Match Obverse: Münzkabinett der Universität Göttingen Identifier 186352 (OCRE example) Mine features the wolf and twins shield decoration; according to this, there are other decorations as well: "An interesting reverse type that is found with a variety of shield decorations on the reverse: she-wolf suckling twins, the Dioscuri, Aeneas with Anchises, and Victory. The shield with Victory appears to be unrecorded." https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=235898 Well, that's it for now. I have others from this post so I'll be back! Thanks again, RC. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for reading and for your kind words! 1 hour ago, Marsyas Mike said: I'm still a little confused by the OCRE 1387a vs. 1387 (3) that you get directly from RIC. OCRE can be confusing because there's no "RIC 1387a" per se. There's RIC 1387 with two different obverse inscriptions, 3 and 6. The obverse inscriptions are listed a few pages earlier. So OCRE calls RIC 1387 with inscription 3 "1387a" and RIC 1387 with inscription 6 "1387b"; I use "1387(3)" and "1387(6)," respectively. ~~~ On a different note, I love the shield decoration variation on your VENVS VICTRIX S C sestertius!! Way cool!!! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing my FF/Sulzer journey, here is one I am happy to report, although very ugly (and with an inscriptionless reverse, possibly the one Sulzer was looking at ), is an obverse die-match to the Roman Collector specimen!

I have one that is also a @Roman Collector die-match (obverse). Where I get confused is that I cannot exactly match the attribution from your die-match one (from the earlier NF Diana post). Does this one not correspond to a Sulzer type? I think it would be Sulzer 1531-1532 (RIC III Antoninus Pius 1383b / (2)). The RC die-match specimen is attributed thusly (from the earlier Diana post - https://www.numisforums.com/topic/1522-faustina-friday-–-an-in-depth-look-at-the-s-c-diana-standing-left-holding-arrow-and-resting-on-bow-issue/ Faustina II, AD 147-175.Roman orichalcum sestertius, 19.49 g, 32.1 mm, 7 h.Rome, autumn AD 154-December AD 155.Obv: FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL, bare-headed and draped bust, right, with Beckmann Type 5 coiffure.Rev: S C, Diana, draped, standing front, head left, holding out arrow in right hand and resting left on bow, set on ground.Refs: RIC 1383; BMCRE 2183; Cohen 206; Strack 1325; RCV 4717; Hunter II 46.

Our obverse die-matching coins with the type 5 hairstyle would be Sulzer 1530, with the FAVSTINA AVG PII AVG FIL legend. This one came with two hairstyles, the earlier type 2 coiffure, and the later type 5. I chose to illustrate Sulzer 1530 with only one of them, the type 2 bust version, which has better eye-appeal than the die-matched one to yours. Sulzer, of course, didn't separate the coins by hairdo. Neither does RIC or Cohen. If you go to the British Museum website and search for "Faustina Younger 1383," you see four examples of RIC 1383 (Sulzer 1530). You'll notice two with the type 2 coiffure and one that is an obverse die match to ours, with the Type 5 hairstyle. There is also an interesting one which Beckmann believes is a transitional hairstyle that represents early attempts to portray the empress's actual Type 5 coiffure, with cross-hatched braiding in the chignon, but which proved too technically difficult for mass production. Sulzer 1531, on the other hand, has the later, longer FAVSTINA AVGVSTA AVG PII F inscription.
