136 viewsDIADUMENIAN (218). Caesar (217-218). Aureus, 217-218, Rome (or Antioch?) M OPEL ANT DIADVMENIAN CAES. Bare-headed and draped bust, seen from the front. Rs: PRINC IVVENTVTIS. Diadumenian standing left, in military garb, head right, holding standard, on the right two more standards. Calicó II, 2982 var. (Bust); RIC 101; Cohen 2 var. (Bust); BMCRE 83a var. (Bust). 6,90g.

In 2017, Dr. Hubert Lanz created a competition for the 70 year anniversary of Numismatik Lanz and to advertise the importance of their guarantee of authenticity. To win, people had to find a forgery that had been put in the auction catalogue on purpose. The fake had, in fact, been positioned plainly visible as an enlarged image on the back page of the catalogue! It is a modern imitation of an aureus of Diadumenian. Everyone who submitted lot 237 by email received a credit note for 25 euros for the auction!
