Has anyone ever come across anything along the lines of a chart that shows the correlation between the coinage of the roman emperors and which deities appeared on their reverse?
Someone went
part way, an interesting idea, but as far as I can see a little
bit tedious in how it works, and the
reverse types don't display all the emperors who struck them… but it is a
good start…
https://www.all-your-coins.com/fr/search-by-picture/romaines-167/type-de-revers-268/allegorie-debout-288/I've been working, over the years, on charting all reverses (deities, or not) in order to track when a particular
type has appeared, how long it was in use, and if it was reprised by a following ruler in case it was discontinued. E.g. the brief revival of
Pannoniae type of
Decius, under Julian I. Or
Probus' revival, 140 years later, of a
reverse of
Hadrian. But this project is far from
complete, and given my pace thus far, I fear it may never be!
