Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Jovinus to the right.

Rome seated left on a stylised cuirass with back of throne behind her. Holding an inverted spear with the left hand and a victory resting on a globe with the right hand. Victory crowning Rome and holding a palm.

One coin sold by Bertolami Fine Arts, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2187336. I have classified the coin as RIC 1710, although the photo of the illustration of the RIC X 1710 appears (despite the low light) to show a curule chair (while the RIC classifies this coin as a stylized cuirass). Another coin sold by Fritz Rudolf Künker GmbH & Co. KG, link to the sale: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=850346.

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.
