Hi,
I am trying to attribute a
dupondius of
Marcus Aurelius.
It is the one with the galley /ship on on the
reverse with Neptune and 4 rowers.
IMP VIII, and SC left and right.
It looks like
BMCRE 1615 however the
legend on my coin appears to read
FELICITAS (with possibly one extra letter following), not FELICITATI.
It is definitely an S on my coin, not a T.
I would post photos but you can only see those letters when under light at a certain angle.
I suspect it is due to tooling and the person has overidden the FELICITATI thinking it is
FELICITAS because I am not aware of any
dupondii with anything other than FELICITATI.
Before I resign to this conclusion, can anyone tell me if there are other legends for
dupondii which read FELICTAS?
I am using my physical copy of
BMCRE and have searched all the online databases.
Thanks,
Peter
