<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Claudius_Gothicus, post: 6641059, member: 116315&quot;]It&#039;s an oddity typical of the Antioch mint, where antoniniani of co-rulers are usually found with the reverse legend ending in AVG instead of AVGG; you can see it, for example, on coins of Philip I&amp;II, Decius &amp; his sons and Gallus &amp; Volusian. Here&#039;s an example from my collection:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1267985[/ATTACH]</p><p>Volusian (251-253), Antoninianus, Antioch mint.</p><p>Obverse: IMP C C VIB VOLVSIANVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind;</p><p>Reverse: AEQVITAS AVG, Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia. Three dots in exergue;</p><p>RIC 215</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1267988[/ATTACH]</p><p>Volusian (251-253), Antoninianus, Antioch mint.</p><p>Obverse: IM C V AF GAL VEND VOLVSIANO AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind. Two dots beneath;</p><p>Reverse: AEQVITAS AVGG, Aequitas standing left, holding scales and cornucopia;</p><p>RIC -</p><p>The first one is quite common, the second unpublished and possibly unique.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
