<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 4535733, member: 82549"]According to RIC the issue appears from both Rome and Antioch. However, Rome did not start minting it until A.D. 240. In Antioch, the coin the type appears at the very beginning of his reign, probably before anyone at the mint knew what he looked like. Thus, the generic obverse portrait. I think your assumption of Antioch as the origin is reasonable. I have not noticed, though, any 50% premium on his Antioch coins, but then, I'm not a specialist. You may be more knowledgeable about this than I am.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
