<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3039950, member: 44316&quot;]On the give-each-vowel-its-due principle, I say mo-EE-si-ah for Moesia.

You have heard it your own way in your head for years. You don&#039;t get much chance to use the word in conversation, and when you do, the person you are talking to probably doesn&#039;t know how to pronounce it either!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a coin of the city of Viminacium (vim in ah key um?) in <b>Moesia</b> Superior:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]758609[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gordian III, 238-244.</p><p>28 mm.&nbsp; 21.24 grams.</p><p>IMP GORDIANVS PIVS FEL AVG in Latin</p><p>PMS COL VIM</p><p>female standing left holding vexilla inscribed VII and IIII for legions</p><p>IIII Flavia and VII Claudia Pia Fidelis</p><p>with their symbols, the bull on the left and a lion on the right</p><p><br /></p><p>Sear Greek Imperial -- but 3642 is from the city. </p><p>Lindgren and Kovacs --, Lindgren III --, Weber --[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
