<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 8157025, member: 84905&quot;]In acsearch I found the following coins with variants of the DOMINO NOSTRO legend. I was not aware that different reverse types existed.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3734657" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3734657" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3734657</a>[ATTACH=full]1423402[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6271264" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6271264" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6271264</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423404[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3319972" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3319972" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=3319972</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423405[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=313076" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=313076" rel="nofollow">https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=313076</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423406[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The last one is interesting. The reverse was continued by late Vandalic coins. Here is 2-nummi piece from my collection, which probably belongs to the reign of Hilderic (I think on some pieces his name is legible):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1423410[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the DOMINO NOSTRO coins were minted by the municipal authority of Carthage at a time, when they didn&#039;t want to use the name of the Roman emperor, who was at war with the Vandals and when the Vandalic kings were not yet issuing a royal copper coinage. I would propose a dating of the series to the period from around AD 440 to AD 460, if we want to link them to the later Vandalic coins. However, a pre-Vandalic origin is just as likely. We will probably never know.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS: As can be seen above, linking these coins to Bonifacius was certainly been highly profitable, even if these links are unproven.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
