<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2183825, member: 44316&quot;]Some of us collect ancient coins with themes in mind. The theme need not be the exclusive focus of the collection, but it receives special emphasis. I find the story of the Antioch mint under Justinian and all its varied mint marks fascinating, so a year ago I created a website about it:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/interesting/Justinian.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Today I added an unusual year 16 follis to it with still another variety of mintmark. If you don&#039;t know the story of the change of the name of Antioch to Theoupolis you will find it interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]423122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]423123[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Justinian, mint of Theoupolis (Antioch) year 16, officina E.</p><p>Sear 219.</p><p>38-37 mm. 16.81 grams. 6:00.</p><p>Mint Mark: CHEUPo, the &quot;o&quot; is high and there is a bar above the CH. </p><p>There is more about this coin on that educational web page and there is a link to it at the top.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
