The RIC X established a variant classification: curule chair or stylized cuirass. I analyzed a hundred Siliquae from various mint and I noticed that the mints of Trier and Lyon display a kind of Z placed on a footstep with two or three legs ... Cuirass or chair? Looking at the illustrations and the classification given, it is understood that the RIC X classified this as a stylized cuirass. I chose to classify for my part three variants: curule chair, stylized cuirass (Z) and cuirass. I have indeed isolated some coins whose cuirass is very well represented. The RIC X ranked the stylized cuirass first, then the curule chair. I will first classify the curule chair then the stylized cuirass and finally the well-represented cuirass.
