<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jb_depew, post: 3501663, member: 88227&quot;]I was hoping my CT friends with knowledge of later Alexandrian tetradrachms might be able to help me with an attribution problem I&#039;m having. I picked up this tet of Aurelian recently, which features Eirene on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The closest matches to this type I can find online are Milne 4359 and Curtis 1791. The reverse is described as &quot;Eirene standing left, holding olive branch and transverse sceptre.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I see a raised hand (that is big enough to palm a basketball), not an olive branch. Also, my example has the reverse inscription &quot;ETOYC&quot; where others I found do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just ordered a copy of Emmett&#039;s work, but wanted to see if any of you had ideas as well.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/qs91RX5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/TilSMXc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Aurelian AE Tetradrachm, Alexandria</p><p>271-272 AD?</p><p>Obverse: A K L DOM AVPHLIANOC CEB, laureate and cuirassed bust right</p><p>Reverse: ETOYC, Eirene standing left, holding olive branch? and transverse sceptre.
