<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 1979648, member: 4298&quot;]Talking of Eudoxia, I&#039;ve had a coin of her&#039;s, not fully attributed for ages as the exergue was off flan for the most part. By chance, a fellow member on a french forum saw another example with a different centering that she spotted immediately as being struck with the same dies (you know the story : &quot;<i>hmmmm, I&#039;ve seen that before !</i>&quot; and you go checking for half an afternoon wondering where you&#039;ve seen that before...lol). So here it is for you, ladies and gentlemen :</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11724/normal_0791-310np_noir.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><b> Eudoxia, AE4 </b> Antioch mint, third officina</p><p>[A]EL EVDOXIA AVG, diademed and draped bust right, above, hand holding wreath</p><p>SALVS REIPVBLICAE, Victory seated right, inscribing christogram on shield.
