Trier has two tree styles. Clusters of three branches each with round leaves or single branches with round leaves. Clusters:- [IMG] [IMG]...
That is a truly gorgeous portrait. Fantastic.
The OP coin is atypical of the trees of Cyzicus. The branches vary in number but are normally pointed in shape. Here are my Cyzicus examples with...
Herein lies the problem. Most of the die studies are unpublished and what we are presented with are their conclusions without their workings. In...
I have had a general background interest in the coinage of Lugdunum for years. The pre-reform issues of Constantius Chlorus and Galerius are...
Trebonianus Gallus Antoninianus Obv:– IMP C C VIB TREB GALLVS P F AVG, Radiate, draped cuirassed bust right Rev– IVNO MARTIALIS, Juno seated...

Whilst browsing through the listings of a major German dealer I spotted this misattributed to Rome. Otacilia Severa Antoninianus Obv:– M OTACIL...
That IVLA (sic) die is quite distinctive too. [IMG] Which is conveniently reverse die linked with the COS II issues of Septimius linking these...
@dougsmit We have more chance of placing some chronology around your EVENTVC because it has a very useful die break evident on the E at 10 o'clock...
@Ryro, I believe that your coin is actually Obv:– IVLIA DOMNA AVG, Draped bust right Rev:– VENER VICTOR, Venus standing left, holding apple in...
I have this aditional one from that last obverse die. BONI EVEVTVS (S corrected from C) [IMG]

Certainly Roman. You can read the start of the reverse legend "TR POT..." and S C across the rear fields. Size will held narrow down. I suspect it...
@PeteB Unfortunately there are many, many coins from Emission 5 which I will never get. These typically have the "fancy" busts for Lugdunum and a...
