<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2227942, member: 19463&quot;]The style is wrong.&nbsp; I almost see more the flavor of the later Laodicea period but the CO at the end of the obverse makes it seem a copy of Emesa.&nbsp; There are relatively few coins I consider copies of Emesa but I suppose there are some types I accept as official that others may doubt.&nbsp; Misspelled legends are not a great sign of anything on the Eastern coins since the real ones had occasional problems with spelling.&nbsp; In this case, I see less Emesa than I would require to feel certain that the cutter was copying one rather than confusing a Laodicea original and forgetting that that mint used IMP.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
