<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3137775, member: 19463&quot;]I forgot to mention that the old thread Justin linked covers the matter well.&nbsp; I should also mention that this is a later period than what I have studied in depth and there are coins that I have trouble IDing with certainty.&nbsp; In particular, some of the the Rome style portraits seem sloppy enough to make you suspect they are not official.&nbsp; The subject of Eastern Severans is huge.&nbsp; Martin and I each have specialty interests within the larger whole.&nbsp; He likes the earlier Laodicea while I like the earlier phase of all the mints better but am a lot weaker in Laodicea than is he.&nbsp; I pretty much stopped studying all of these when Roger Bickford-Smith died and it became obvious that continuing his work was not a priority with the people who inherited his papers.&nbsp; That was when I started my web pages and became more of a general collector buying coins that would illustrate some point on a web page.&nbsp; What I know is old news.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
