Regalianus und Dryantilla in der numismatischen Forschung des 16. bis 18. Jahrhunderts. (Section 4 of): G. Dembski ‒ H. Winter ‒ B. Woytek, Regalianus und Dryantilla. Historischer Hintergrund, numismatische Evidenz, Forschungsgeschichte (Moneta Imperii Romani 43 - Neubearbeitung)

A survey of early modern research on the elusive coinage in the name of the usurper Regalianus and his wife Dryantilla. The focus is on 18th-century contributions by Erasmus Froelich, Edoardo Corsini, Joseph Khell, and Joseph Eckhel (who published authentic specimens), as well as on Jacopo da Strada (1507-1588). Curiously, Strada published an invented coin in the usurper's name, which was known from literary sources, before any authentic specimens had become known.
