<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8252594, member: 110350&quot;][USER=84905]@Tejas[/USER], I have had no luck finding examples of this kind of &quot;T&quot; cross on the reverse of solidi -- a form clearly not unique to my specimen -- described as a &quot;Tau cross.&quot; But it certainly makes sense to me, because what else would a &quot;T&quot; mean in this context? And just because the form was well-known in Alexandria because of St. Anthony doesn&#039;t mean that it was unknown in Antioch. After all, my coin is dated by Sear to approximately AD 365, and Wikipedia states regarding the famous &quot;Life of&nbsp; Anthony&quot; that &quot;Sometime before 374 it was translated into Latin by Evagrius of Antioch. The Latin translation helped the Life become one of the best known works of literature in the Christian world.&quot; See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_the_Great" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_the_Great" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_the_Great</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
