Bust type help

[Foro Di Mario]

Need to learn the bust types. What does the following mean:
Laureate   
Draped   
Cuirassed   
Radiate
Wearing trabea (toga)

Also, trying to decipher the mint on this.

Just an alternative to radiate

your coin is laurette, draped and curiassed bust right.
the difficulty lies in determining if there is either a curiasse or drapery on some coins.

radiate and helmeted are very easy to tell.  Very few coins have a helmeted bust.

A number of later imperial types are found helmeted. Probus, Licinius, Constantine, Valentinian II, Theodosius II, just to name a few, appear helmented on many coin types. Additionally, many denarius types of the Republic feature the helmeted head of Roma.

Sometimes one encounters the use of the term "mailed," which is essentially the same as "cuirassed."

Or even cuirassed!

LOL! Typo, sorry (kind of funny, though ). I am correcting the spelling on the original post.

Have we mentioned the laureate helmet?
Heroic bust?
Aegis?
etc

PS I think the mintmark is simply 'SIS'

Frans your eyes are better than mine to detect anything in the Exe.

My comment was based on the vast quantities of styles out there.  Only a relative few are helmeted versus the numbers that are laurette or radiate....

No criticism meant; comparatively there aren't as many (at least not among imperial issues) -- but still there are a LOT.

Be it limited, Victor Clark made a nice inventory on later bust types; very clarifying for the student collector:http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/
