[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1756297, member: 19463"]My AE31 wolf is from Ninica Claudiopolis in Cilicia under Maximinus I. It is just one of many Provincial uses of this type. [ATTACH=full]277205[/ATTACH] Mine is not very nice. CNG sold a decent one a few years ago: [url]http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=65683[/url] The legends are not all that easily read but notice that the end of the obverse is stacked in two rows starting at the nose. I once considered the possibility that this was caused by double striking but that is where it is nice to see images of other examples that will help clarify such questions. Also: Macrinus AE29 from Laodicea ad Mare [ATTACH=full]277206[/ATTACH] and Severus Alexander AE33 of Antioch, Pisidia [ATTACH=full]277207[/ATTACH] Note that all three of these big coins are Latin Legend from full Colony status cities.[/QUOTE]
