[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 7627996, member: 110350"][USER=85693]@Marsyas Mike[/USER], I apologize for saying above that I didn't think it was Aurelian -- I made the same initial mistake you did, by looking only at acsearch, where I didn't see any examples with the L and E in the same field. Here's one more catalog citation for the record: K & G 106.46 [Kampmann, Ursula & Granschow, Thomas, [I]Die Münzen der römischen Münzstätte Alexandria[/I] (2008) at p. 332. It's the third from the bottom in this column: [ATTACH=full]1312406[/ATTACH] The "D" reference is to Dattari. Here's the Aurelian legend key, giving the meaning of "Aa": [ATTACH=full]1312404[/ATTACH] Regarding the rarity scale in Emmett, keep in mind that it's primarily based on the presence of examples in "published major Alexandrian collections," along with a limited number of auction results.
