<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 954121, member: 5739&quot;]Ah yes, I prefer the term &#039;Unknown Eastern Mint&#039; personally....but that&#039;s just me. Of the three reverses I think the &#039;Pax Fundata cum Persis&#039; is my favorite.... and I suppose it would also be the most popular, what with it mentioning Persia on the reverse.... especially the one with the first type obverse, with &#039;PM&#039; below the bust. Several people have told me that the &#039;PM&#039; on the obverse stands for &#039;Persicus Maximus&#039;, and they have explained their reasons, such as...&nbsp; &#039;PM&#039; was a common Roman abbreviation, that the Romans would understand what it meant, but the Persians would not notice it if they saw one of these coin types, and therefore would not know or think that the Romans put such a phrase on their coins after the Persian war..... but that is just what people have told me.</p><p>&nbsp;I just saw a fairly nice example of the &#039;Pax Fundata cum Persis&#039; reverse, with the second type obverse, the obverse like your &#039;Spes&#039; and my &#039;Virtus&#039; examples, sell on ebay for around USD85... seemed a bit low of a price to me.... but so it goes...</p><p>&nbsp;Here is my low quality Eastern Mint &#039;Virtus Exercitus&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; *and thank you very much for the compliment on my Rome mint &#039;Felicitas Temp&#039; Philip Ant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
