[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2329511, member: 42773"]Here's a mystery coin along the gist of this thread. RIC records the obverse legend IMP CMA MAXIMIANVS AVG for Cyzicus, but epsilon//XXIdot is only recorded for a different series altogether, from the mint of Antioch. From Cyzicus, the CONCORDIA MILITVM types with this obverse legend are recorded with SC or SCstar in exergue, and the spelling CONCORDIAE. CONCORDIA MILITVM is recorded as 606 from Cyzicus, but with a different obverse legend and XXI in exergue. Since CMA MAXIMIANVS AVG is recorded only for Cyzicus, it must be an emission of that mint, with obverse legend and exergue not in RIC, but somewhere between 602 and 607. Someone needs to devote their life to organizing this series. It's not going to be me. [ATTACH=full]472144[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
