[QUOTE="maridvnvm, post: 1212283, member: 31620"]Those are fantastic examples Doug. Siscia is the only mint to attempt to illustrate clouds on this type, which is what those lines beneath the horses are trying to represent. I love the spread quadriga type, which probably explains why I have gathered so many over the years, and it comes from so many mints too. I specialise in Probus from Lugdunum but do not have any of this type from there yet despite many years of searching. I have examples from Rome, Siscia, Serdica and Cyzicus. [ATTACH]128253.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]128254.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]128255.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]128256.vB[/ATTACH] I also have a serious soft spot for the ADVENTVS types of Probus and indeed my favourite Probus in my collection is an ADVENTVS PROBI AVG from Lugdunum.
