<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 4185284, member: 97383"]Richard McAlee illustrates 3 coins of the same type in his book <b>The Coins of Roman Antioch</b>, & expresses the same frustration in attributing these coins. Number 547(a) has a weight of 5.36 gm (close to yours). He also writes "Hadrian's coins were the last instance of an orichalcum issue struck in <b>Rome</b> for use in Syria, although similar coins were struck for at least one other eastern province under Marcus Aurelius".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
