<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3219535, member: 19463&quot;]So far, I have seen no suggestion of a denarius mint in the West after the first century issues (Galba).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Alexandria was recognized about 90 years ago by comparing the denarii with the tetradrachms.&nbsp; Twenty plus years ago, Roger Bickford-Smith separated the Alexandria denarii into three periods by style but his death put a halt to serious study of these issues.&nbsp; I assume his better coins are still in the British Museum.&nbsp; His duplicates were sold by CNG before they started posting online.&nbsp; </p><p>First Issue Denarius - Feb.-Aug. 194:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]837858[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Second Issue Denarius - Later 194 AD:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]837859[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Third Issue Denarius - 195 AD:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]837860[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope I got these separations right and I admit that I was only starting to feel comfortable with the concept when I took a break from Septimius after starting my website and becoming a more general collector.&nbsp; I really should get out my letters from Roger and see if they help me get back into the details that have become muddy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
