Apparently pp. 237-8; the
bust type numbers begin at 10 and go to 77.
Bust type numbers 10-69 are generated by the table on p. 238.
Vertically: Bare r., Bare l., Laureate r., Laureate l.,
Radiate r.,
Radiate l.
Horizontally: Shoulders bare, Fold of
aegis on shoulder, Fold of cloak on shoulder, Draped seen from behind, Draped seen from front,
Cuirassed seen from behind,
Cuirassed seen from front, Draped and
cuirassed seen from behind, Draped and
cuirassed seen from front, Veiled.
Also pp. 38-41 on
portrait types: hair and beards of the
men, hairdos of the women.
Examples of a
good number of these
bust types, and of all of the hairdos of the ladies, are illustrated on pl. 1-6.
I think it would have been clearer simply to list the
bust types that occur with brief descriptions, and to show examples of each in the same order on the plates.
The table is somewhat complicated to use, and it generates numbers for
types that actually do not occur. For example I think that 19 is the only Veiled
type that actually occurs, while 29, 39, 49, 59, and 69 are there in the table but never occur on the coins.
The illustrations for the
men are unfortunately arranged first by emperor, then for each emperor by
catalogue number rather than
bust type number. So on pl. 1 we find first
Marcus,
bust types 10, 12, 10, 38, 30, 53, 39, 37, 35, 38, 37; then
Verus,
bust types 13, 17, 15, 10, 45, 30, 10, 11, 30, 35, 36, 30, 10, 12. On plates meant to illustrate the
bust types, surely it would have been better to illustrate the
types that occur in strict numerical order!
Szaivert's
work is on my shelf, but I rarely open it: I find that it casts little light, and is difficult to use.
