<p>[QUOTE=&quot;seth77, post: 5340003, member: 56653&quot;]In 247 Philip II was first made Consul and then raised to Augustus, while showing him bare-headed, probably to show his position as a junior co-emperor. There was only one obverse die giving him the title of Caesar and Augustus, paired with several reverse dies -- Glykon, Asklepios, Homonoia -- the different pairings were used intensely between 247 and 249, or just in 247(?) </p><p><br /></p><p>This was one of the last types minted at Tomis (if not the last), the city suffered during the gothic invasions of Argaithus and Gunthericus and then Kniva around 248-250 as did the whole Moesia Inferior. This is when local Greek coinage stops at Tomis, possibly closer to 248 than 250, as there is no coinage for Decius as far as I know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
