[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 5451377, member: 80783"]That would make sense. By the way this denomination was exclusive to Rome only with the imperial couple clasping-hands-reverse, while an issue of the same denomination was also struck, presumably a year earlier, in 274, at Serdica, albeit with a bust of Sol on the obverse and Aurelian sacrificing on the reverse: [ATTACH=full]1237265[/ATTACH] (sadly not my coin :confused:) That type is very rare however while the roman mint version was struck with many die combinations and more than 50 specimens to be found on AC search which would make it seem that it was indeed planned for a wider circulation, as compared to later examples (as attested by only a single reduced Sestertius by Carinus on AC search, for example)[/QUOTE]
