<p>[QUOTE="Ocatarinetabellatchitchix, post: 3604979, member: 99554"]I made research about this question and find some answers. In 1973, M.J Price saw in the coins of Tacitus <i>COS III </i>erroneous products of a provincial workshop. A.Alföldi ( Ticinum: le monnayage de l’empereur Tacite ) assumed that the <i>scalptores</i> of Ticinum based their mintage on the notion that Tacitus had taken a suffect consulship when Aurelian died in autumn of 275 AD and that the one of 276 was therefore the third. In 2005, S. Estiot brought another hypothesis : she believed that in north Italy a third consulship was wrongly counted to Tacitus because of his great germanic victory. There is another example of a “mint <i>computus” </i>in Ticinum 14 months earlier : they attributed to Aurelian a 7th Tribunician power for his triumph and the celebrations of the quinquennalia , while the usual count was only of six. So many many theories, you choose the one you like the most ![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
