<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 1960552, member: 31620&quot;]The OP coin is a nice enough example of the product of this mint. I echo Doug&#039;s comments about availability of Emesa and Alexandria coins. There are common variants from both that should be readily available given patience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here is a coin from my collection that is the VENVS FELIX type but from the Laodicea issue just for style comparison alongside the Rome and Alexandrian issues avove.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/RI_065bp_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Doug illustrates a whole host of scarce types above. Most of which I don&#039;t have. I have other scarce types too but won&#039;t inflict all of them on you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The following Alexandrian coin is scarce though most people would overlook it due to condition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Obv:– IVLA (sic) DOMNA AVG, Draped bust right, hair tied in bun behind</p><p>Rev:– VIRTVS AVG COS II, Roma, seated left on shield, holding Victory and spear</p><p>Minted in Alexandria, A.D. 194</p><p>References:– RIC - (Unlisted Hybrid with reverse from Sept. Sev. 350I (which is R2))</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10618/normal_RI_065bg_img.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
