Rupert's first is RIC 11
corr.; the coin quoted by
Cohen is Elberling Coll., Domit. 5, pl. III, which indeed has P P at end of
rev. legend.
Cohen has simply misdescribed it, and RIC took over Cohen's error without bothering to check the source! A
rare legend variant in any case; the normal form in this issue is TR P
COS VII DES VIII P P. Will be interested whether
Carradice and Buttrey know other actual specimens of this coin.
Second:
Komnick, Restitutionsmünzen,
Titus no. 7.2. He knew four spec., from two
obv. and three
rev. dies. It's off
flan on Rupert's spec., but the
obv. legend erroneously calls
Tiberius IMP III not
IMP VIII. Rupert's coin is from the same
obv. die as the clear spec.
Komnick illustrates, pl. 1, ex Leu-M&M 1967,
Niggeler 1174.
Third: I suspect FIDEI PVBLICAE
overstruck on FORTVNAE AVGVSTI, with FORTVNAE persisting from the first strike, rather than FORTVNAE PVBLICAE wrongly
engraved on one die. Such overstrikes are
rare and highly interesting since they suggest rapid, alternating use of two different
rev. dies at the same
obv., as I have explained elsewhere.
BM 400 is a normal FIDEI PVBLICAE with
aegis on neck of
portrait.
Fourth: Thanks for the reminder on your coin and NAC reference. Yours is a lot clearer
IMP PONT than theirs! Will see whether
Carradice and Buttrey know this
legend variant, assuming they cover this issue in RIC.
