Thank you Magistra but what I need is some graphic information online that I allow to differ each Emperor's different busts, is to say:   
- rosette-diadem, draped, cuirassed, raising right hand   
- plain diadem, draped, cuirassed   
- rosette-diadem, draped, cuirassed   
- pearl-diadem, draped, cuirassed   
- laureate, draped, spear across right shoulder   
- laureate, draped with shield   
- cuirassed, spear pointing forwards, shield on left arm   
- laureate head only   
- etc. etc. etc. 
Greetings
Mario

Judging from threads here over the last couple of years, a number of die engravers didn't know they were supposed to be strict or clear, for that matter, so that trying to tabulate might be frustrating.  Pat L.

I have pages with the bust types with many of them illustrated from RIC VII.
There are three pages, starting here
