<p>[QUOTE="Curtis, post: 8245119, member: 26430"]I think so. I just happened to be looking up similar types in Historia Numorum Online last night when I saw a similar one (horse right) for sale at Forum. I don't know the research literature on which the attribution was ultimately based, but all these Horse / Trident-with-"S"-shapes coins seem to be attributed to Mylasa. (There's only one left one: <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=321" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=321" rel="nofollow">321</a> ; but a bunch of right ones: <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=319" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=319" rel="nofollow">319</a> ; <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=320" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=320" rel="nofollow">320</a> ; <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=734" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=734" rel="nofollow">734</a> ; <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1127" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1127" rel="nofollow">1127</a> ; <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1128" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1128" rel="nofollow">1128</a> ; <b>N°:</b> <a href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1355" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hno.huma-num.fr/browse?idType=1355" rel="nofollow">1355</a> ).</p><p><br /></p><p>But attributions to Carian mints do seem to be particularly contested!
