<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 3405114, member: 82549"]I think as a general rule, on bronze coins from Constantia the officina letter precedes the mint city letters (usually CON), while at Constantinople it follows them (CONS). So a coin from Constantia would show something like PCON and one from Constantinople during this same period would be CONSA. But there may many exceptions, so this shouldn't be considered an absolute rule, just a general starting point. But this, plus the Latin/Greek difference pointed out by Suarez (is that you, Rasiel?) should offer some degree of certainty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
