Crispus RIC VII Aquileia 100?
« on: June 29, 2014, 10:21:16 AM »
I've put this topic up on FAC also, if someone here could contribute it would be greatly appreciated and if it helps me get the informations I need, I will compensate the provider w/ a link to an unlisted LRB - full legends and design devices etc. - offered for a pretty low price.

Has anyone seen this coin?
G14 bust is described as : cuirassed, two arrows in right hand (perhaps plumbatae), one in left hand,
shield on left arm.
I have read Sylviane Estiot's very interesting article but it does not cover this period, so if you have any information on this coin, maybe a picture too (RIC doesn't provide one) it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I spent some time several years ago looking for a picture of the G14 bust for my adjunct busts page ; but could not find any.

A late reply, but here is the picture of Aquileia 100 from Paolucci and Zub in The Roman Imperial Coinage of Aquileia

Not such a great picture though.

G14 bust-- cuirassed, two arrows in right hand, one in left hand, shield on left arm

though RIC describes the bust as two arrows in right hand, it is the left with two arrows.

I have attached another similar bust and a link to the article on plumbata that the picture came from.
