It can&#039;t be L IE (year 15) because production of tetradrachms in Alexandria ended in 298. Per Emmett, this reverse was only issued year 11. Could it be and unpublished L IB, with the right side of the B missing? Possibly, but it&#039;s probably just a somewhat blundered A.</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
