<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3496124, member: 19463"]M. Mike's coin points out a matter I find interesting. Usually the year dates for Alexandria refer to the senior emperor even when the coin doe not show him. Here we have two rulers each with their own date. Vaballathus is year five and Aurelian only year two. Below is the other option showing year delta 4 and A 1. The other difference here is opinion. I consider Aurelian to be on the reverse. When the coin was issued, Vaballathus and Zenobia were in charge in Alexandria and issued coins honoring the Roman emperor rather than the other way around. Is there an example of a Roman emperor who shared a coin from a mint he controlled with a foreign ruler? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]926148[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
