<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3030059, member: 31620&quot;]That&#039;s a new one on me. I was under the impression that all quinarii of Probus were laureate. Are you sure it is a quinarius?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have an example of the RIC 925 above from the same officinal too. They used ED to avoid using Theta, which was unlucky due to being the initial letter of Thanatos.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20132ib%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>How many of you are aware of the latest thinking that there is a fourth eastern mint operating under Probus at this time. Cyzicus, Antioch and Tripolis are the ones currently used but Dr. S. Estiot published an article about a fourth, unspecified mint which can be distinguished by a distinctive style from the other mints. She placed the plates from this article in this thread on Forvm.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=104599.0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=104599.0" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=104599.0</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The following are some of mine that would be attributed to this mint based on stylistic reasons. The facial shape is quite distinctive as is the treatment of the beard.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_132xm_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20132v%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I need to find this one in my trays and update the image.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI%20132ae%20img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
