<p>[QUOTE=&quot;svessien, post: 4086911, member: 15481&quot;]According to my Sear calatog, it’s struck in Rome. I would not be surprised if it was Antioch, though, as a variety of mine is Antioch mint according to Sear. On my coin, the die has been cut a bit deeper, making the relief higher. Most Gordian coins have the end of the nose and the lips smeared out. I’m not sure this is a question about where they are minted though. Both these are struck in Rome, for example, if we can trust Sear vol.

However, I think this question is interesting enough to have a look in RSC, to see if these may be coins from another city than Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
