[QUOTE="larssten, post: 4712945, member: 78319"]Thank you very much [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] for taking the time to both answer my questions about the practicalities regarding the specific Künker catalog item as well as about the article and the background of the dating! I have never heard about a similar situation were COS II precedes COS. [I]Of course this raises even some further questions for me:[/I] - Does Macrinus' refusal to call himself "consul for the second time" tell us something about Macrinus' personality? - Or was it just wise of him under the current circumstances, after the overtaking of the throne assassinating Caracalla, to act modestly? Perhaps not sticking his own head out too much? - Regarding the COS II minted coins in January 218; Are the significantly more rare than ones struck with only COS ? Apologize for any questions with obvious answers; I am still a novice with Roman coins, but its fascinating to learn more intricacies like these :)[/QUOTE]
