This thread is 5 years old, still have the coin and it's been posted many times before.

Sort of a question of faith. Sear is the most recent reference and reflects much more recent data. Sear attributes this issue to either Viminacium or Mediolanum.

 

Thanks Roman Collector, good point, then using Sear seems to be the one to use

 

Just saw the thread. Nice coin and I hope you still have it.

 

Sear's book is most recently published, but he relies on data from others...for this issue he uses Göbl and even acknowledges him in the intro.

Göbl has a lot of data in his book, so it is not merely a catalogue; but it is in German.

 

I have a Saloninus I really like.
