Regalian, Jotapian, Pacatian, Silbannicus, Domitian II?:shame: Seriously, completing any set requires defining that set to be as complete as we...
What led you to Maximianus rather than Diocletian?
I like the Caligula / Vesta. It is the less common of the two obverse legends found with these and overall an attractive coin.
There are fakes of this type both ancient and modern. Mine is a fourree, has a later style portrait and as hard to ID as yours. [ATTACH] These...
Yes, this is the mint Mattingly assigned to Emesa but sometimes we see it as Emesa or Laodicea and some recent writers have moved to Antioch or...

Rather than being cast from the BM coin, this was pressed from modern dies made while referring to the BM coin....
Snakes or not, these vary a lot in style and the expression on Medusa's face. My two are not high grade but I liked the style. I really need one...
I have to wonder if any of us here have that one in 'genuine'. Time will tell.
