[QUOTE="Bing, post: 1897282, member: 44132"]The choices of mints for this particular coin are: Antioch Alexandria Cyzicus Nicomedia Constantinople Since the mintmark is off flan on your coin, the only way to give an educated [U][B]guess[/B][/U] as to where this coin was struck will be style. Looking at the style of your coin, I am [U][B]guessing [/B][/U]it was minted at Antioch. Take a look at the style on this coin to see if you may agree: [url]http://www.acsearch.info/record.html?id=348930[/url] If so, then the attribution would be RIC 69; Theodosius I AE3: D N THEODOSIVS P F AVG, pearl diademed bust right / GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor on horseback, hand raised, ANT? in ex. The reason for the question mark is we do not know the workshop which would be the last letter in the mintmark (A,B, Delta or Gamma). I hope this helps some.[/QUOTE]
