<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2888413, member: 19463&quot;]You would have an easier time convincing people that this was Saloninus if he were known to have issued coins with the Abundentia reverse with B in left field.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the majority of cases it is good to look at the reverse of a coin before trying to ID it.&nbsp; Coins, for example, of rulers who share a name like Constantius but did not use the same reverses benefit greatly from this.&nbsp; There are quite a few types that were only used by one ruler.&nbsp; I believe Warren has a page on this.&nbsp; Positive ID&#039;s are not as frequent as negative.&nbsp; If a reverse was not used by someone, it would be very unlikely that you found the first one.&nbsp; There are mules, often barbarous, combining inappropriate types so we can not be absolutely certain here but reverses still help a lot when doing ID&#039;s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
