Reference mistakes in the illustration of the RIC…
(1/1)
Windchild:
Still in my process to build a database on Carthage mint I just integrated the illustration at the end of the RIC VI for Carthago.
I went very surprised when I discovered that 2 pictures were improperly referenced.
The first one is the obv-rev picture of the 17b.
Normally 17b should be:
IMP C MAXIMIANVS P F AVG / FELIX AD-VENT AVGG NN / \ PKS
But if I’m not blind the presented coin is:
IMP MAXIMIANVS P F AVG (no C in sight…) and that mean a 19b not a 17b!
I have the same problem with the picture labelled 10, which is more surely a 13a…
Here is a pic of the so called 17b….

19 Carthage coins illustrated, 2 mislabeled. Hopefully the accuracy is better for other mints!
Of course any such detailed work is bound to include a fair number of mistakes. I just correct them in my copy as I note them. For Carthage, I had already noted that illustration 10 is actually 13a, but not that 17b is actually 19b.
