<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2732133, member: 19463&quot;]That is a good photo of an excellent example.&nbsp; The Laodicea denarius below is just a bit later (202 AD) showing the newly assumed COS III on the reverse.&nbsp; RIC 504 describes the coin but I fail to understand why RIC did not separate it from the COS II coins as they would usually have done for a new date.&nbsp; After listing this one COS III coin they return to listing several other types with COS II. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]621567[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Later that year the mint switched to the SEVERVS PIVS AVG legend but kept the reverse.&nbsp; Shortly after this change, the mint was closed leaving RIC 526 (below) as the only coin with this obverse from Laodicea. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]621571[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
