    I really enjoy this coin as Theo has quite a nice outfit & helmet, however I am not equipped
    to get References past what Wildwinds has, this coin is not listed in their catalog of RIC
    numbers, can I get help if you know another Ref # I may attribute to this coin???
    Below was the closest I could get, however mine has a Gamma at the end of its exergue...

    Theodosius I, AE2. 378-383, Antioch. (RIC IX Antioch 40e)

    Obv: DN THEODO-SIVS PF AVG, helmeted and rosette-diademed bust right holding spear and shield
    Rev: GLORIA RO-MANORVM, emperor on prow, hand raised, Victory at the tiller, wreath in left field, cross in right field, ANTB in ex.

    HPDC-SP-SH Bust
    GLORIA RO-MANORVM
    ANT gamma
    wreath in left
    cross in right
    Antioch
    RIC IX Antioch 40d; Sear 20484
    common
    AE2

    The difference between 40d and 40e is a pearled versus rosetted diadem. You have a pearled one here.

    Yes I have seen this one, however it does not have a Cross in upper right field
    like mine has, all else of course is the same as my coin...

    So I nobody here can come up with an attributable Reference on this coin than
    where does one look?...
    Does this mean I may have an unpublished type?

    What are you talking about? @Orange Julius told you it was RIC 40d. The RIC number refers to several coins with various marks in the field.

    Thank you, this is information I did not know or have about field marks, I appreciate the clarity of your message, short of the unnecessary "What are you talking about?"
    We can end this topic I think now!
