<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 3288624, member: 81808&quot;]Neat coin [USER=75937]@Roman Collector[/USER]. One interesting tidbit that I learned from the Butcher book today is that they don&#039;t really know what the &quot;SC&quot; on the reverse of these coins was for. Syria was an Imperial province, so there is not reason for the Senate to have approved the coinage. There is the theory that it was merely imitative of the Imperial coinage which was issued with Senatorial approval,&nbsp; but Butcher seems to discredit that idea due to the duration (Augustus to Valerian).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
