2 It is a pity that L. is not aware of C. Rowan's recent article (‘Communicating a consecratio: the Deification Coinage of Faustina I’, in N. Holmes, Proceedings of the XIV International Numismatic Congress, Glasgow 2009 [2011], pp. 991–8) about the posthumous coinage of diva Faustina I in which she also deals briefly with the question of the female ‘right to coin’ (cf. L.'s chapter 2).
