<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8334123, member: 44316&quot;]Take a look at the reverse legend on this coin:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1477523[/ATTACH]</p><p>Gordian III, 238-244, stuck year III (&quot;ANIII&quot; in exergue) = 241/2.</p><p>30 mm. 18.91 grams.</p><p>Reverse legend:&nbsp; PMS COL VIM</p><p>A figure of the Provincia Moesia standing left between bull standing right on left and a lion standing left on right.</p><p>Sear Greek Imperial 3642. Mouschmov 32.</p><p><br /></p><p>Clearly COL VIM is &quot;Colonia Viminacium&quot; the mint city, the colony (12 miles east of the the present Kostolac, in eastern Serbia). That much is easy to understand. But, it took me a while to determine &quot;PMS&quot; abbreviates &quot;<b>P</b>rovincia <b>M</b>oesia <b>S</b>uperior,&quot; the upper part of Moesia, as opposed to Moesia Inferior.</p><p><br /></p><p>Show us a coin of Colonia Viminacum in Provincia Moesia Superior![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
