<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2300528, member: 42773&quot;]Well, this book arrived yesterday, and tonight my budget has already fallen victim to its influence. Here&#039;s a tetradrachm of Caracalla from Tyre. Although the bottom of the reverse is weakly-struck, the murex shell mint mark of Tyre is quite clear...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]462257[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Prieur catalogs 8 eagle types for Caracalla from Tyre, two in a transitional style which do not resemble this coin at all, 3 with busts seen from the front, and 3 from the back. I&#039;m not certain whether he&#039;s cataloging all known dies, or representative examples of particular styles. At any rate, my new coin appears to be a die match to 1551, p. 171. I wonder if any of you that also have the reference could weigh in and let me know what you think of my attribution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
