[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 4762324, member: 89514"]JulGerm, I do not have a cast of the Paris ANNONA AVG As reported by Cohen 11. The Wayne Sayles example that you link to is among my casts, however; I saw the same coin in Alex Malloy's stock in December 1974. It came from the Hohenkubin Collection of Roman middle bronzes, sold in Lanz IV, Graz, 23 Nov. 1974, part of the 10-coin lot 771, without photos. It is from the same obv. die as your example and the three Vienna coins, in my opinion. It is quite possible that most of Macrinus' middle-bearded obv. dies, including yours with the Annona rev., lasted until Dec. 217 and were used to produce part of the New Year's issue of 218. My casts represent five such dies, and three of them definitely occur in combination with TR P II COS II middle-bronze rev. dies of early in 218. Apart from the New Year, no other occasion for the ceremonial distribution of asses is known. Some were definitely struck at other times of the year, presumably just for general circulation.[/QUOTE]
