All I have for eastern Severans is one of Septimius, just arrived from a numismatist and coin collector (in that order --unlike yours truly). For that, he still had the attribution of Laodicea ad Mare for the mint, and regaled me with the story (also in Sear) of how Septimius had closed the mint of Antioch, as punishment for having issued coins for Niger during the civil war. Right, replacing it with the new one in Laodicea. </p><p>...For references in print, all I have is an embarrassingly old edition of Sear. How far does the reattribution of mints, from Laodicea back to Antioch, extend? Is it reducible to redating certain issues back a couple of years, or is it across the board?</p><p>Between this numismatist (not naming names; haven't checked this out with him), and Warren Esty, who turned me on to this forum in the first place, my interest in Roman has gotten a serious boost lately.
