Beckman, Martin. Diva Faustina. Coinage and Cult in Rome and the Provinces. (New York, 2012). ANS Numismatic Studies No. 26. 170 pages, 33 plates, 18 charts showing die linkages. Black cloth with dust cover. The coinage struck posthumously in the name of Faustina the Elder, wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, was the largest such issue ever produced by the mint of Rome. Until now it has been impossible to date these coins with any accuracy, and thus difficult to determine their place in imperial ideology. This study definitively resolves the chronological difficulties of these undated issues by means of die study of Diva Faustina's gold and bronze coinage. Very Fine condition.
