However the palindrome does play in another mintmark of the period from the mint of Rome which reads R epwc (in monogram form) followed by the officina letter. The monogram word eros is Greek for the Latin amor which spells Roma backwards. When it comes to strange mintmarks, this one is hard to beat and does not even require a die clash to be special. This one is Crispus but they were made for all the current rulers of that period. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]837640[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
