<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2037451, member: 57495&quot;]Nice detective work!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The footnotes for RIC 447 has further clues:</p><p>&quot;CBN 777-8 lists as imitations two coins with AAAFF on Galus Apronius obv. and IIIvir on rev. with, respectively, Messalla Sisenna and Sisenna Messalla.&nbsp; These do not look obviously imitative, and the transposition of AAAFF and IIIvir may be due to simple confusion in minting a thoroughly permutated series.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This would to account for Bing&#039;s coin, except that his is APRONIVS GALLVS rather than GALLVS APRONIVS.&nbsp; Nevertheless, I think &#039;mint confusion&#039; is a good explanation.&nbsp; That&#039;s a ridiculous number of permutations![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
