<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joseph_8314, post: 3525353, member: 103603&quot;]It seems unlikely that Aurelian would have punished those that actually did the die cutting, as the two engravers employed by the Milan mint who struck coins for Aureolus were later employed by Claudius II, and the die cutters who made dies for Zenobia and Vabalathus at the Antioch mint were later again employed by Aurelian. It seems that experienced die engravers were in demand, and I believe that Aurelian would have followed suit at the Rome mint. Further evidence is the fact that irregular/hybrid issues of other types, as well as even DIVO CLAVDIO antoniniani, made in post-reform style,&nbsp; were struck by the Rome mint following the death of Aurelian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
