<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 26024246, member: 31620&quot;]I am choosing to use &quot;eastern&quot; quite deliberatley. There is no real evidence of the location of the mints for the AVG-COS series or the IMP II, IMP VIII issues. RIC and BMCRE both use Emesa and Laodicea-ad-Mare respectively but the British Museum now uses Cappadocia and Antiochia ad Orontem respectively.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ending in COS II these coins are generally lumped in with the standard COS II issue. Whilst I have been able to find reverse die links between some of these short legend issues I am yet to find a die link to the standard COS II issue. I have spent a LOT of time looking. I have my own private thoeries but I suspect it will take me a while longer before I can progress these theories further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
