<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2575345, member: 19463&quot;]I have read enough about coins of Postumus to know I do not know enough about them to sort out the mints by style.&nbsp; We see coins attributed to Lyons, Cologne and Trier as well as the Milan &#039;Aureolus&#039; coins which are the only ones that strike me as easily separated.&nbsp; I have quite a few but have not been convinced by the pieces I have read on them to the point I&#039;ll offer anything helpful.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not have one like yours but I do have one of the Pax varieties with a P in the field.&nbsp; What does it mean?&nbsp; I do not claim to know and am less than certain that the theories I have seen presented are worth repeating.&nbsp; I hope someone who claims expertise in these steps up and helps here.&nbsp; Part of the problem is I do not read the languages in which the better works are written so I can not say whether I agree with their arguments or not.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is hard to find a better example of a relative major ruler whose reign and coinage are less clearly understood and agreed upon in the literature.&nbsp; Ten years (which ten?), four mints (?), little agreement?&nbsp; He has many cool coins, IMHO, and I hope to learn and understand. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]557894[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
