<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 3090454, member: 38412"]IMHO Some of the OP coins, especially with exergues showing I - or II or III or V or VI etc.. might simply imply a Roman numeral. So V is 5 - or III is 3. I've seen Roman coins having only X in exergue suggesting the number 10. The first was struck in Rome and described as a tinned antoninianus. The second has Aquietas on reverse and is of Asian mint - RIC 87. As for those unclear shapes in exergue as well, I think they must have a meaning just like privy marks.</p><p>Here are 2 coins of Salonina and Aurelian showing some examples.[ATTACH=full]779709[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]779710[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]779712[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]779713[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
