<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2148122, member: 19463"]This thread has seen more than one version of the list. One difference is how they handle that ruler 'Anonymous'. One version places it at #16 while another splits out Urbs Roma, Constantinopolis and 'Other'. I assume 'Other' combines the earlier quadrantes and the Pagans of the 4th century. I made the assumption that the Vabalathus number did not include the Aurelian reverses. A question I'd love to know is if there will ever be another name added to the list. There are several shown here that exit in three or fewer examples including the 1900 Domitian II specimen which was pretty generally considered a fake until they found the 2004 example in circumstances hard not to accept. What other coin remains buried out there waiting for someone to dig it up and start the controversy about its authenticity? We have names of usurpers not known to have issued coins. We even have a few coins generally believed to be fantasies. Did the Alexandria mint cut even one denarius die for Titania or Pertinax Caesar (they did make tetradrachms)? Probably not is a probably correct answer but I would not bet the farm on anything never having existed just because we don't know it today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
