At the Treveri mint 10 emissions were struck from mid 260 until mid 269; at Cologne, 2 emissions were struck from 268 until early 269 AD and at Milan, 4 emissions from early 268 to mid 268 AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attribution to mints in Cologne and Lyon are from RIC of 1933, but already in 1941 Elmer rejected Lyon, and referred to mints in Cologne and Treveri. The attribution to Treveri seems to be from Besly, Edward; Bland, Roger (1983). “The Cunetio Treasure”. Elmer and C. F. Zschucke do not attribute Postumus coins to Treveri but to Cologne. Nowadays, Cologne is always considered the mint (RIC 315).</p><p><br /></p><p>See also <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/postumus-mints.308149/#post-2947866" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/postumus-mints.308149/#post-2947866">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/postumus-mints.308149/#post-2947866</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Please share your Postumus/Moneta Antoniniani if possible with your attribution (Treveri, Cologne, Lyon or Mediolanum) or anything you deem relevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>My recent Postumus catch, which still has nice silvering - apologies for the bad pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p>3.52 g</p><p>Treveri or Cologne, 261/262 AD, 3rd emission, 1st phase, officina C</p><p>Mairat 65-9; AGK 45; RSC 199a; Sear 10962; Schulzki 56, Nr. 45 (Cologne or Treveri), Zschucke 138 (Köln), Elmer 336; Cunetio 2404 or 2413 (Treveri); RIC V, 75 or RIC V, 315(c) Köln; Elmer/Zschucke 10th emission, Köln, 263 AD.</p><p>Ob.: IMP C POSTVMVS P F AVG Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust to r.</p><p>Rev.: MONETA AVG Moneta standing to l., holding scales and cornucopia[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
