<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3323731, member: 44316&quot;]It has been a long time since CT has had a thread on FEL TEMP REPARATIO &quot;hut&quot; types. This one came today:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]880905[/ATTACH] </p><p>21 mm.</p><p>SMKB for Cyzicus</p><p>Solider, with spear reversed, leading smaller figure (barbarian?) from <b>hut</b> with a tree behind and above it.</p><p>RIC VIII Cyzicus 72 &quot;348-350&quot;</p><p>Sear V 18699.&nbsp; </p><p>Failmezger 410. <i>Roman Bronze Coins: From Paganism to Christianity, 294-364 A.D.</i> The book (with excellent illustrations by [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] ) pictures 17 examples from 13 different mints. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the mints have distinguishable trees. This tree has more leaves than most and looks somewhat like Failmezger&#039;s from Nicomedia and Antioch. It is not much like his (worn) Cyzicus example which three branches with not more than one leaf each. </p><p><br /></p><p>Our member [USER=83956]@Gavin Richardson[/USER] has written an article on this &quot;hut&quot; type and its interpretation in light of Vergil. </p><p><br /></p><p>Show us your FTR huts. Let&#039;s see if mints can be identified by their trees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
