    The first following coin has Aurelian on one side and Vabalathus, son of Zenobia, on the other side. The second one shows Empress Severina. Vabalathu R Aurelian.JPG Vabalath O.JPG Severinacoh7 Antioch.jpg Severina R Ric 20-P.jpg

    Among my favorite mintmarks are Aurelian's lion and dolphin.

    Sorry I missed this thread when it was fresh and I'm glad to have seen it today. Another fabulous writeup, @Curtisimo! I was unaware of the Aurelian walls :)

    Thanks @TIF :D

    Your post in the "most valuable" thread reminded me there are a ton of great posts I still haven't read from before I ever joined CT.
