<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7370012, member: 84905&quot;]Good points and good question. I don&#039;t know if &quot;my theory&quot; holds up with coin of Valerian. Your acsearch shows a rather unsystematic attribution to Cologne and Lyon. If I base the argument on these sellers&#039; attributions, it quickly becomes a circular argument. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we need to dig into the literature, to find an argument that establishes the fact, that only Cologne (or Trier) were active mints at the time, thus ruling out Lyon altogether. I&#039;m afraid this cannot be answered on stylistic ground alone.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought this coin with an attribution to Lyon:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284009[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>While this one was attributed to Cologne (not too much difference to the previous coin):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284011[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was attributed to Rome:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284010[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is clearly an eastern mint (Viminiacum or Samosata)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284012[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>While this is almost certaintly Antioch:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284013[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin is from Rome:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284017[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Could this be Milan?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1284018[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
