Two or three other specimens with the TR P
VIIII obverse:
Paris, not in
good condition. The
obv. legend misread by
Cohen 4 as beginning with L SEPT and ending with TR P
VIII not
VIIII.
RIC 521b
corrected Cohen's misreading of the tribunician number to
VIIII, but took over Cohen's mistaken L SEPT at the beginning, and added its own mistake in Caracalla's
legend, reading PON for the correct
PONT. So this TR P
VIIII coin is not actually unpublished: it is
Cohen 4
corr. =
RIC 521b
corr.Second specimen:
Vienna ex Bachofen von Echt
collection. Different
obv. die from
Paris, same
rev. die.
Possible third specimen: de Quelen Sale of 1888, lot 1348, reported by
RIC 521b. However this could easily be the same specimen that was acquired by Bachofen and is now in
Vienna.
The new specimen is from new dies:
obv. and
rev. die both different from those of the
Paris and
Vienna specimens.
