Ralf, thank you for your input and the lead to the temple!
Hope to see it with own eyes one day). Your
Faustina ll is in a too nice condition for this exceedinly
rare type. It is interesting that
RIC also cities the variety with three standards on
reverse, which i have never seen so far. Though, i saw an
aureus of this
type with three standards in BM
collection, so there could be a
denarius probably from the same dies.
Jochen, thank you for explaining, it makes perfect sense. Additionaly, I ve just found a
sestertius with DIVAE FAVSTINAE /seated
Aeternitas in BM. So it is not a
typo of some sort, but rather regular
legend.
