[QUOTE="Tejas, post: 7346157, member: 84905"]I have the following two Gallienus Antoniniae. The coins are of the same reverse type, but they are of very different style. The different sellers attributed the first one to Antiochia and the second one to Trier. I think neither attribution is correct: The second coin is of the typical, common style that is usually attributed to Cologne or Lyon. I think the coin was minted at Cologne. The first one is of a different, but also very fine style, which looks to me very different from the usually crude style produced by eastern mints at the time. I think it is a western mint product, but stylistically neither Lyon nor Cologne fit the bill. Could this by coin from Trier? Also, please show us your Gallienus Ants that celebrate victory over the Germanic tribes. This is a fascinating series with many varieties.
