<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2881854, member: 19463&quot;]All his were LB suggesting that he counted his first day in power in August but issued no coins until September or after.&nbsp; The way the Alexandrian calendar worked, one day before new year was as good as the whole year. The new year began on 29 August except during the year before a Julian leap year, when it was 30 August instead. If he considered his first day before that, LA could be very short.&nbsp; I have never seen a list of which years were leap years but it would only matter if he was counting from 29 August which would be in one year if it was a leap and another otherwise. </p><p><br /></p><p>When Diocletian retook Alexandria, he took away their unique coinage.&nbsp; I do not know when they started striking the standard type coinage.&nbsp; RIC discusses the matter but covered it best pointing out that not all scholars agree on the dates.&nbsp; &#039;I don&#039;t know&#039; is a good answer in many cases.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
