Corrigenda to Coin References

Below is the start of a list of corrections that I have discovered that need to be made to some of the standard numismatic reference works. Roman Imperial Coinage, (Various) Volume IV, Part I On p. 44, Clodius Albinus, No. 4: For obverse legend (b) D CL SEPT ALBIN CAES should read obverse legend (a) D CLOD SEPT ALBIN CAES Volume IV, Part III On p. 96, Philip II, No. 218: For obverse description globe and standard should read globe and reverse spear. Volume VI Heraclea, pg 530, legend 2a of Maximianus should read IMP C M A MAXIMIANVS P F AVG rather than IMP C M A VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG Volume IX On p. 217, mint of Constantinopolis, No. 17(b): "As 18(a), but without 'indeterminate object'" should read "As 17(a), but without 'indeterminate object'" Greek Imperial Coins, D. R. Sear Number 419, Caesar and Caesonia, obverse legend should be ...P M TR P COS... not ...P M T P COS... Roman Silver Coins, D. R. Sear Volume IV On p. 132, Postumus, No. 273: For reverse legend P M TR P III COS III P P should read P M TR P IIII COS III P P Handbook of Roman Imperial Coins, D Van Meter On p. 68 (Augustus, #60) The photo labeled #60 should be labeled as #60a. On p. 69 (Augustus, #81) The photo labeled #81 should be labeled as #81a.b. On p. 70 (Augustus, #93) The obverse legend in the photo is CAESAR AVGVSTVS DIVI F PATER PATRIAE, not CAESAR PONT MAX. This appears to be RIC 233 rather than RIC 230. On p. 73 Heading Auadrans should be Quadrans. On p. 76 (Tiberius, #17-#17b) The reverse legends are given as PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVM POTEST XXXVI, ... POTEST XXXVII..., and ...POTEST XXXIIX...,. An S C should be placed at the end of each of those legends or it should be noted that the legend is around large S C in field. Also, the picture for #17b has the reverse legend PONTIF MAXIM TR POT XXXIIX around large S C in field. The text, however, gives the legend as PONTIF MAXIM TRIBVM POTEST XXXIIX. On p. 79 (Caligula, #5a & #5b) These varieties listed are obverse varieties, not reverse varieties. On p. 82 (Claudius, #11) Reverse legend EX S C / OB / CIVES SERVATOS should be EX S C / P P / OB CIVES / SERVATOS. Also, the photo shown for #11 should be labeled #11a. On p. 82 (Claudius, #19 & #20) Obverse varieties listed are actually reverse varieties. On p. 84 (Nero) Sestertius of Caludius #12 should be labeled as Claudius #12 (sp). On p. 85 (Nero, #9) The photo labeled as #9 should be labeled #9c. On p. 86 (Nero, #17) The photo has obverse legend NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERM PM TR P IMP PP. This is not a variety listed for #17. On p. 86 (Nero, #20) The photo labeled #20 should be labeled #20d. Also, in the obverse varieties, ol/6 is listed for (a). This is a duplicate since the same obverse legend is listed in the original description. On p. 87 Heading RCopper Semis should read Copper Semis. On p. 87 (Nero, #31) The obverse legend in the photo is NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERMANIC. This does not match ol/3 (NERO CLAVD CAESAR GERMANICVS) the type listed in the obverse description. #31 should also have the following variety listed: Rev - PONTIF MAX TR P IMP PP; Nero as Apollo right playing lyre. Obv - NERO CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG GERMA; Bare head of Nero left. On p. 87 (Nero, #33) The reverse legend is around S C in field. On p. 90 (Vitellius in support of the Upper German Legions, #5) The reverse legend FIDES EXCERITVVM should read FIDES EXERCITVVM. On p. 92 (Galba, #5b & #5e) The obverse legend ol/22 is listed, but there is no key for it in the list of legends. It should be listed as SER GALBE IMPERATOR. On p. 94 (Galba, #43) The photo shown for #43 has obverse legend ol/4 (IMP SER SVLP GALBA CAESAR AVG TR P), but, ol/4 is not listed as a variety. On p. 103 (Vespasian, #75) The photo for #75 has the obverse legend IMP CAES VESP AVG PM T R PP COS IIII CENS, a variety of legend not listed in the key. It is very close to ol/10. On p. 104 (Vespasian, #96) The photo for #96 has the obverse legend ol/12 (IMP CAESAR VESP AVG COS V CENS), a variety not listed for this coin. On p. 107 (Titus, #43) The reverse legend CERES AVGUST S C should read CERES AVGVST S C. On p. 111 (Domitian, #42) The reverse legend IMP COS XXI COS XV CENS P PP should read IMP XXI COS XV CENS P PP. On p. 111 (Domitian, #42/3) The photo labeled #42/3 should be labeled #43/3(a). On p. 111 (Domitian, #45/1) The photo labeled #45/1 should be labeled #45/1(a). On p. 112 (Domitian, #55/5) The photo labeled #55/5 has an obverse legend ol/29, a variety not listed for #55. On p. 113 (Domitian, #87) The photo shows an obverse legend of type ol/7. This should be listed as an obverse variety. On p. 114 (Domitian, #105) The photo shows ol/9 which should be listed as a variety along with ol/17. On p. 117 (Nerva, #1) The reverse legend CONCORDIA EXCERCITVVM should read CONCORDIA EXERCITVVM. On p. 118 (Nerva, #23) The photo shows ol/4 or ol/6 which should be listed as a variety along with ol/5. On p. 121 (Trajan, #45) The reverse legend ARMENIA ET MESOPOPTAMIA IN POTESTATEM P R REDACTAE S C should read ARMENIA ET MESOPOTAMIA IN POTESTATEM P R REDACTAE S C. On p. 122 (Trajan, #56) The reverse legend SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI / AQUA TRAIANA / S C should read SPQR OPTIMO PRINCIPI / AQVA TRAIANA / S C. On p. 138 (Antoninus Pius, #86) The reverse legend ROMAE ATERNAE S C should be ROMAE AETERNAE S C? On p. 143 (Marcus Aurelius, #1) The obverse legend in the photo is ol/14 (IMP CAES M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG), not ol/18 (IMP M AVREL ANTONINVS AVG). The reverse legend CONCORDIAE AVGVSTOR TR P XV should be CONCORDIAE AVGVSTOR TR P XV COS III. On p. 150 (Marcus Aurelius, #152) The reverse legend CONCORD AVGVSTOR TR P SV COS III S C should be CONCORD AVGVSTOR TR P XV COS III S C. On p. 152 (Faustina Junior, #2) The reverse legend IVONONI LVCINAE should be IVNONI LVCINAE. On p. 175 (Pescennius Niger, #15) should reference Cohen 35 not 36 On p. 181 (Septimius Severus, #2) The obverse legend should read VIRT AVG TR P COS On p. 182 (Septimius Severus, #24) The description is missing the obverse type. Should be ol/28 with laureated head right. On p. 183 (Septimius Severus, #43) The photo for #43 should be labeled #43a. On p. 186 (Septimius Severus, #119) The reverse legend PM TR P VI COS III PP should be PM TR P XVI COS III PP. On p. 186 (Septimius Severus, #120) The reverse legend PM TR P VI / PROF AVGG should be PM TR P XVI / PROF AVGG. On p. 193 (Julia Domna, #65) The reverse legend SAECVLI FELCICITAS S C should be SAECVLI FELICITAS S C. On p. 194 (Caracalla) In the list of obverse legends, ol/25 (M AVR ANTONONIVS PIVS FELIX AVG) should be ol/25 (M AVR ANTONINVS PIVS FELIX AVG). On p. 209 (Julia Paula, #2) The reverse legend CONCORIDA AVGG should be CONCORDIA AVGG. More to come ... Standard Catalog of World Coins, 17th Century Edition In the denominations section (Page 24) under Daalder, Grosveld should be Gronsveld
