<p>[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 4142198, member: 83956"]If the weighting suggests good evidence for a 309 date for these early Sol coins at Lyon, that would ruin the argument for the Apollo vision being the impetus for the Sol coins. That is, of course, <i><b>if </b></i>we accept 310 as a fixed date for the vision. I haven't seen a source that pinpoints it; Spring of 310 seems the closest I can get; it's clearly a completed event by the time the panegyrist mentions it in July/August of 310 </p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect I'm trying to uncover a firm dating of both the Lyonese SOL issues as well as the Apollo vision, when neither can be firmly fixed. Perhaps that leaves me back at Valentinian's conclusion: "If you think the SOLI type followed his vision ... I have found nothing to contradict that."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
