<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 7985027, member: 85693&quot;]I was very excited to see your VENVS VICTRIX of Salonina &quot;rear view&quot; - from what I can tell, this is a fairly scarce coin.&nbsp; Somehow I got two of them, equally cruddy but in different ways.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From the research I did a couple years back, it is not in RIC, and is the Cologne Mint.&nbsp; However, I just looked into it again and found it under RIC 8 - in OCRE it states Lugdunum mint (a few years ago, even the Gallienus.net site stated it was not in RIC; a revision since then, perhaps?).&nbsp; Your post states it is the Rome mint - I was wondering if you had further information on this?&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t find a lot of info on this, so anything additional would be welcome.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I did find three auctions on acsearch that adds a lot to my attributions; this one from CNG is most helpful (note it also states Cologne, despite RIC/OCRE):&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Salonina.
