<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3934805, member: 72790"]I need some help to nail down the mint that issued the Caracalla Syrian Tetradrachma below as well as the unusual wagon like control mark between the eagle's legs on the reverse. As far as I can make out there is nothing unusual about the obverse, that is from what is legible on the coin, AUT KAI ANTxxxxx. On the reverse is the usual DEMAxxxxATOCTD, except that the last combination of letters does not seem to be an exact match for any of the various mints from Antioch through Judea that I have seen. I also cannot find the wagon control mark anywhere. Any help on ascertaining the mint and an explanation of the control mark greatly appreciated.
