<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2132280, member: 19463&quot;]The new photos make all the difference!&nbsp; They read (in Greek) M ANT GORDIANOC.&nbsp; The way the city name was divided on the reverse was not consistent from die to die let alone from ruler to ruler.&nbsp; Most are common but Severus Alexander is most common.&nbsp; I do not own a Gordian III like this but will show a Severus Alexander and his mother Julia Mamaea.&nbsp; Note my Alexander has the entire reverse legend on one line with the last two letters formed into a ligature while the Mamaea has the last two letters on a second line below (mostly off flan on my poor specimen) as shown on Bing&#039;s coin.&nbsp; The original poster coin has the last three letters on the second line.&nbsp; This makes absolutely no difference in ancients.&nbsp; Each die was cut individually and the cutter did things as he saw fit at that moment.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]406199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406200[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
