<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1019820, member: 19463"]Antioch it is. You have clues. The other choice with the dots is Alexandria but they used the obverse legend with MAX for this issue and a bust rather than a head. Also, I am reasonably sure the last letter in the mintmark is theta or workshop 9. Alexandria only used four shops (so 9 is not a choice) while Antioch had 15. SMANtheta seems right. Finally, There is a matter of style and Alexandria was a bit distinctively different from other mints but your coin seems closer to what is expected of Antioch. My example of Antioch is shop Z (6) but similar.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
