Message:: [QUOTE="Orielensis, post: 4849662, member: 96898"]RIC lists the abundant postumous altar issue of Claudius II for both Rome and Milan. I have no idea how to distinguish coins of the two mints, especially since they come in a wide variety of styles (not even counting the many 'barbarous' imitations). Therefore, I have these two listed as "Rome or Milan" until further notice: [ATTACH=full]1171049[/ATTACH] Claudius II Gothicus (postumous), Roman Empire, BI antoninian, 270 AD, Rome or Mediolanum mint. Obv: DIVO CLAVDIO; head of Claudius Gothicus, radiate, r. Obv: CONSECRATIO; altar. 23.5mm, 2.84g. Ref: RIC V Claudius Gothicus 261 or 262.
