lrbguy Pillar of the Community United States 949 Posts	Posted 02/19/2017 10:11 am Thanks for the RIC update site, Victor. That should help with attribution and data on a particular coin variety; i.e. the coin in your gunsights. Tremendous resource. But at another level what do you do for the "grand sweep" of data that let's you see the logic of it all? Patterns in mint parallels; or the locus for a particular type, and so on. Serendipity happens when you weren't out looking for what you ended up finding. The books did that, but how do you do that with "searches." This is an honest question, not a complaint. I really want to know. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 6:55 pm I happened across another issue of Quintillus today, picking it up on account of what I thought to be a well executed and preserved portrait. Unfortunately, the reverse is rather mediocre. It appears to conform to RIC 58 (Milan) with what looks to me to be the officina letter "D" in the exergue (although it might alternatively be an incompletely struck "P").

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 01/14/2020 8:14 pm This was sold to me today (mis)identified as an issue of Claudius II, and I had actually already posted it as such here before taking a closer look and realizing it was a Quintillus instead.
